Doesn't time fly! We're into October already so it's time for yet another freebie. You may remember that a few weeks ago I reluctantly posted the picture of a project that I was NOT pleased with – a collection of seven pots with flowers. But the problem was with the way the I had organised the overall composition – there was nothing wrong with the individual designs. So I thought I might pass some on as freebies, and here is a pot with pansies
The first flower pot
There are a couple of things to be aware of. First, there are a lot of jumps between the various parts of the flowers, but this was necessary for technical reasons. Also this is not a perfectly symmetrical design. The pansies flop further over the right-hand side of the pot, which means that the pot isn't centred exactly in the frame. This may be important if you're using the design together with others, for example as part of a quilt. Finally, the pot is appliqueed, and there is then an area of overstitching and finally a satin stitch border around it all. However you can leave out the overstitching if you like and just use the satin stitch. Personally, I usually like the effect of overstitching, but if you're using an interesting fabric for the applique, you may not want to blur it with a layer of overstitching
Anyway, here is the design (in .pes v.6) and here is the worksheet
Thank you Mia for another great design and for information on how you digitized it. Whatever one does with the pot will make it a great design.
Love these pretty little pansies, all in a row, an asymmetrical row at that!
So cute! Thanks again!
I Had to clean out my flower garden this week and feeling a bit blue. Thanks for such a cheery design!
I think your digitizing of the picture is great !!
I still love those pansies! Thank you for sharing your work with us. I need a boost to get back to my embroidery, and this is definitely incentive.
Thank you also for the tips on centering. I love the way you are always thinking ahead.
