free july embroidery pattern

Here is my July calendar pattern.  August is another month that I have yet to design, so who know how long it will take me to get that one done, but at least July is ready in July!

I finally finished June!  Actually, it's been done for almost 2 weeks, but I just haven't been able to uploading the pattern until today.  I hope to get working on July soon, but it is one of  3 months (July, August and December) I have not done sketches for so I will be starting from scratch.  There is a link to all of the calendar patterns in the left column.

better late than never! (May embroidery pattern)

I am WAY behind on this calendar project!  While at a craft show last week my friend asked how my calendar was coming along and said she planned to make one herself once I finished the patterns.  It was a gentle reminder that I need to get busy and finish this up!  So, here is May.  No promises on when I will get June up here.  I have a sketch already done, I just need to draw up the actual pattern and get it stitched up.  In case you've forgotten what all the others look like here are the links: January, February, March, and April.

free april embroidery pattern

Appropriately it is a rainy April day and I photograph and post this next square in my calendar!  It took me awhile to get this one completed.  I just seemed to be in a bit if a rut with it, but finally those few hours to myself over the weekend sparked the creativity and energy I needed to finish it up and I think it turned out pretty cute :)

Here are a couple close ups...

And of course the pattern.  I would love to see your work if you are using my patterns to make your own little calendar- please post pictures to my flickr group!

Happy stitching!

free march embroidery pattern

I am a bit later than I had planned, but I finally have my March embroidery pattern finished!  This one is my favorite so far.  That flowery rectangle of fabric is the last sizeable piece of a vintage print I snagged from my mom years ago.  One of my favorites :)  I realized when I went to stitch the "arch" in March that it maybe was not the best choice for visibility of the letters, but I still love it.  I can't take full credit for this block.  It was inspired by something I saw online probably over a year ago.  Unfortunately that was before I was on Pinterest, or even Tumblr so I have no idea where it was to reference it. 

And here they are all together.  It is so fun to see this project that has been in my mind for so long come to being!

free february embroidery pattern

I finished stitching up my February embroidery piece over the weekend.  I am hoping to get started on March soon, but I've promised Max that I won't sew anything else until I finish his robe :)

In case you are curious about the details, I am sewing on an 8" square of white Kona Cotton and using wool-felt bought from this etsy shop and DMC embroidery floss (so far mostly 3 strands, but that will vary more in the next pattern).  I plan to border them in some fun cotton prints and possibly add some other embellishments when I've finished all the squares and can see the project all together.

free embroidery/applique pattern

I am super excited to have finally started this project!  I've had the sketches for an embroidered/appliqued calendar in my notebook for at least a year.  I still have not decided what the finished project will be, possibly of quilt with a square for each month or maybe a banner.  Anyway, this is my first square.  This one is pretty simple.  The other sketches I have are a mix of simple and more complex and I am excited to see them all come together :)

I thought it might be fun to share my patterns with you as I go.  I would LOVE to see someone else's take on my designs.  So, if you stitch up any of my patterns please add a picture to my flickr group!
