French Knots

Here's another vintage pattern from the 1950s of an adorable teddy bear. I've seen these done two-tone in pastel pink and antique white and they are too cute. The embroidery is usually done in black.

This guy sure is cute but that big nose looks more like a carrot! Ok, he is named “Nosey” so it’s intentional. The directions don’t state the finished size so you’ll just have to make it up to find out! The pattern scale is 1″ per square. You can get the free pattern and instructions

Embroider just one or stitch them all for an amazing floral quilt!

When they named them thistles they weren’t kidding. These are some painful “flowers” and they’re not just in Scotland!

Beautiful embroidery patterns all with cross stitch details in the borders, corners and the lovely centerpiece with roses.

A few tree patterns for applique or embroidery.

Not pushing up daisies embroidery patterns. This group mostly utilizes the lazy daisy stitch (very easy) and the center circle can be worked with a few satin stitches across it or my all time favorite…..the french knot. More daisies can be found spilling out of flower basket category.

Embroidery patterns of happy occasions that are more like personal events rather than national holidays.

One in the mandala style and cherry blossoms on a branch to embroider.

All smiles in the kitchen today! Have some fun with these vintage embroidery patterns from the 1960s (most likely)

Just hearts, without the flowers that usually accompany them.
