Boy, it seems like I just put out Sept.’s free pattern. I have been creating tons of patterns this last month. Just times the pattern mood just hits.
This month’s free pattern is a bit different in that it is a direct scan from a ink drawing. When I first started doing embroidery I often stitched my images to look like drawings. I would try to match my pencil drawing lines as best I could. If the finished image was small I would use just a single thread of floss. Sometimes I would stitch lines at different sizes to match the thick and thin of a pencil line.
Enjoy!

So, here I’m to say thank you for this pattern. I used it as a birthday card for my Godchild. I transfered the pattern on a watercolour paper and painted after. The result is great! Thanks!
