Free embroidery pattern resources

Been a while since I shared some links with you. Infact, its sometime since I googled around for embroidery resources. Well, I looked around a bit and found some interesting ones.
Thanks to twokitties, I found a rather interesting set of pictures, very different and unusual.These are actually coloring pictures of animals of the world for children,but this could be easily converted into embroidery patterns.Here's one such picture from louiseelliottdesign.net .


Here's the link to the whole set of 12 animals

If you're interested in crewel embroidery here's the link to a vintage pattern at twokitties. Click on the Download scan link to download it.

Tipnut.com has quite a collection of embroidery patterns. Check out the archive here.

Enjoy,

  3. Hi Deepa,
    Your blog have been so informative. I have been a lurker for quite some time, after which I started following your blog, but this is the first time I am writing in... Well, lazy I guess, really don't have an excuse.
    Your creations are beautiful!! And given your job profile, I can appreciate it even more! I have been on that side on the fence once, and I used to embroider ever night after coming back and before sleeping, but you even find time to record it all!! Kudos to you!!
