French Knots

Various types of flowers but all the bouquets have pretty bows….of course! Tie one on with these embroidery patterns of bodacious bouquets.

Another collection of butterfly embroidery patterns from simple to stylish to daisy fresh.

An oldie but a goodie probably from the late 1950s. It’s usually the woman doing the chores!

Yes, they really are free! Stitch up one or all of these beautiful butterfly embroidery patterns. To download the free pattern simply click on the image and save the file to your computer.

A couple of crossed key patterns of the skeletal variety. Bare bones, matey!

These were originally designed for hotpads but a sweet face can be stitched up for any purpose! Update: A couple more sweet faces, a girl wearing a bonnet and a boy in a straw hat for your stitching pleasure.

Baby lambs and daisies…..what’s not to love? You could even incorporate them into a wool project and split the tapestry yarn for embroidery rather than it’s intended use for needlepoint.

Bunny rabbits with those lazy daisy flowers that are so easy to stitch.

Puppy dogs with balls and just hanging out looking cute.

One is a fancy pattern of bells and flowers and the other pattern has “Mr and Mrs. but could be replaced with the initials of the bride and groom.

Ma and Pa Kettle and the third one is from another hillbilly days-of-the-week set. Could be a love triangle but what do I know. Update: Another hillbilly couple to add to the mix. My granddaddy made moonshine in the hills of Tennessee but I don’t recall him having such a large nose. (:

I could do with some roosters around here to help with the chores. Neat cross stitch detail in the tails or you could just outline the shapes if X’s aren’t your thing.
