The Accidental Embroiderer

Two free horizontal birds

 I found these two birds hidden the files, relics of some forgotten project. They had originally been done with appliqueed bodies, but I wanted to give them away as freebies and I sometimes get the impression that some people, especially beginners, find applique a little too demanding. So I’ve re-done them, and they’re now entirely embroidered

I’m not sure where you could use them, but long thin designs can often come in handy as borders, or to fill in gaps in pieced quilts. They’re both for the 5 x 7 inch (130 x 180 mm)  Click Download Horizbird 1 v6 for the first one, and Download Horizbird 2 v6 for the second, in .pes v.6

Now – I’ve been having my usual difficulties with Typepad, so if you have problems downloading these just drop a line to the “Comments” section, making sure to include your e-mail address, and I’ll get them out to you in e-mails

  1. I love your designs! Looking forward to embroidering more of your work. I’m still in awe of your vases with flowers and I’m tickled pink with how I embroidered them.

  2. Thanks for the regular embroidery version; these birds will make very pretty borders…

  3. Hi – You said to let you know if there was a problem downloading these darling birds, so here I am. The first one was easy, clicking on the blue name, but the second one isn’t highlighted or in blue, and clicking on the regular typing doesn’t do anything, at least for me. Sorry, and thanks!
