Goodbye Autumn 🍂 hand embroidery pattern 006

Today we are celebrating the ending of the cosy season with a beautiful new autumnal pattern. Only few simple stitches were used, such as the back stitch, French knot, straight stitch, satin stitch and long and short stitch.

Hydrangea Embroidery • Free Pattern 005

 

Hydrangea hand embroidery was one of my first designs. I did not want the petals to be equal. I studied the flower in more detail and the petals weren't all equal. This is why I have made them uneven. I sketched it, then stitched it and for a complete beginner in me at the time, I think it turned out quite nice.

Water Lily Embroidery • Pattern 004

This new Pattern was inspired by water lilies, found in a fountain, in a beautiful park in England, called Swiss Garden. 

DMC THREAD COMPARISON AND FREE PATTERN 003

Today, I am comparing various DMC threads. I love how economical crochet threads are, but unfortunately, this is not the case with embroidery threads. I love to use Petra cotton thread for any chunky designs, like I did with pattern 002. I think Petra would be best for any upholstery designs, but also pillow covers and throws. 

Free Embroidery Pattern 002 using DMC Petra Cotton

I have experimented with this beautiful, chunky DMC Petra thread used mainly for crocheting. I like how raised the flowers and leaves are. I think similar effect can be achieved with Coton Perlé. For French knots I used Coton Perlé in size 3. The fabric is linen in peach colour. 

New Flower Embroidery • Pattern 001

The new soft coloured flower pattern is here. It was inspired by the end of summer, delicate roses and leaves. It was made with double thread and I used DMC Pearl Cotton in size 5.
