The Accidental Embroiderer

A pot of free spring flowers

May is with us at last, so it's time for a freebie. I'm not sure how many blog readers will be stitching for pleasure at the moment – sometimes it seems as if almost everybody who knows how to use a sewing machine is out there stitching masks. But if you're not embroidering at the moment, just put this pot of flowers aside for the happier times that will come.

Signs of the coming spring

It's based generally on the style of those wonderful vivid Mexican folk-art flowers – I seem never to be able to get enough of those.  It's for the 5×7 hoop (130 x 180 mm) and because it's so colourful there are – obviously – a lot of colours, and a lot of colour changes. And as you can see, the pot is appliqueed on.

  1. Thank you very much for your great files. Today I stitched out the amazing crocodile because I needed some holidays from sewing masks. : )
    I hade a lot of fun with it, but just found not time to take a photo. (Please excuse my english language.)
    Kind regards from Bavaria

  2. Mia, These flowers make a very pretty bouquet, and I will stitch them out to brighten my day.
    They will be great on a notebook cover…they are similar in style to the ones in your last blog about the candlestick…Thank you!
