Some of us drink wine while embroidering. However, overindulgence is not recommended due to poor stitch quality and well, blood is hard to remove from fabric.

This romantic pair looks like they are running away….probably trying to catch up with the dish and spoon that escaped earlier.

Seven bunnies doing household chores every single day of the week! Certainly it’s not the same bunny doing all that work when they have the ability to clone themselves so quickly.

These embroidery patterns of borders are open to interpretation. Borders can also be edgings (as edgings can be borders as well) but we’re calling a border a design that doesn’t necessarily repeat like most edgings do. Pillowcases fall into this category as do floral sprays and yes, they can repeat if you want them to!

These are from the 1850s and most likely hand-drawn. The cross stitch certainly does and in the artistic world we call them “charming.”

Another days of the week set with baby ducks.

Neat mill house from the days when they used the power of the river to grind flour. For Christmas stitch up this delightful winter cottage.

6 patterns of lilacs…….one with a cross-hatched heart to be used as a corner or ??? Lovely patterns that you may want to take your time with because all those tiny flowers can become tedious!

So pretty! Easy to stitch daisies on a fence in this pattern.

Neat beehive and honey pattern. Single bee patterns can be found here.  

Not just ducks but ducks on ponds that are not in a row.

Embroidery patterns of lambs and just the heads of lambs. They’re small so great for bibs or kid’s clothing but can be sized up if none of the larger patterns in other posts work for your project.
