OK, the first of the month, and it's time for a couple of new freebies. Actually they aren't all that new, because in 2016 I posted two other designs from the same set. They're applique designs from the art nouveau era, and I love art nouveau, so over the years I've done a lot in that style. These are both pretty simple designs – 4×4 inches (100 x 100 mm) with just one applique step
The first Art Nouveau design (number 3, just to be confusing)
….and the second (Art Nouveau 4)
Here's the first design (Art Nouveau 3, in .pes v.6) with its worksheet and here's the second (Art Nouveau 4) with its worksheet
If you didn't pick up the first two Art Nouveau appliques in 2016, here's a link to the blog where they're posted, so you can add them to your collection. You will have to scroll down a bit to find them:https://theaccidentalembroiderer.typepad.com/the-accidental-embroiderer/2016/12/index.html
Now – I have a question! Does anyone have any ideas for freebies that I could offer? Maybe something I've already posted here, or maybe a new idea that I could do? I've asked this question of readers before and got some interesting answers, so if you have any inspirational ideas, just let me know! For various reasons it might not be possible for me to offer everything that I do, but I'd love to know what thoughts people have. Thanks!
Oh, goody! I love Art Nouveau, too! So elegant and more artistic – to me – than Art Deco. Not so geometric…curves instead. These are both lovely, but I prefer the second one, #4. Thank you for sharing them, and their predecessors! Freebies – What about your beautiful tile-like designs? The William Morris iris & carnations, of course, but there are several other really pretty ones. They would make interesting sets of cushion covers or throw pillows, stitched on handbags or totes, linens, all sorts of things.
froggies have a special place in my heart, and it would be fun to see them in your special style. and ofcourse, i love your birds!!
Mia, thank you for the freebies they are wonderful. I have appreciated all the designs you have so generously given us. My particular love is the birds, bell pulls, individual, and in the tree designs, these have been super and so versatile. What ever you choose to do next will be amazing , as you put a great deal of time and effort into each and everyone you do. Hope you had a lovely easter and you were able to be with loved ones. At the moment we have no lockdown, but things can change very quickly. We hope to take a few weeks away soon in our caravan, catching with friends and family, we have not seen for some time. Stay safe and well.
I would love to see a horned toad lizard. Horned toad is the symbol of justice for our nation and is also a beautiful creature in his own right. I haven’t seen one elsewhere, so your take on him would be both unique and lovely!
