Free hand embroidery pattern

DateFriday, February 20, 2009 at 8:04AM | AuthorSharon B | Comment7 Comments | in ,

I have been playing around in Illustrator again and thought people might be able to use these as they can be adapted to many forms of embroidery such as freestyle, crewel, adapted for even weave techniques such as blackwork, pulled work and needlepoint or even combined with applique and beadwork. 

 

 

If you click on the image a larger version is available.

 

 

I thought this one looked very Japanese.

This looked like a strange flower.

Sharon,

Thanks so much for these! They might even be modified into applique patterns...many possibilities!

I see quilting patterns!!!

These are wonderful - in needlepoint, exactly what I enjoy, as it would take some mathematics to work them out and make them symmetrical. The "Japanese" piece is actually the Chinese bats - used a lot on Chinese porcelains. I have a Celadon plate with that motif, along with the "coins" for prosperity, etc. The "red bat" is symbolic of Good Fortune (usually dark orange on the Celadon pieces)

Hi Judy - well that is fascinating because I came up with it as a result of mucking about with a kaleidoscope program. A case of reinventing the wheel!

I thought the middle one looked a bit like crabs in a starfish. :-) And the bottom one like mice in a circle. I think I'll add tails and cheese in the middle play with those a bit!

Love the patterns! Thanks so much!
