    Thankful Embroidery Hoop Pattern

    Hi, I’m Jessica, and I blog over at Cutesy Crafts. I love to hand embroider, so that’s mostly what I will be sharing here. My blog is also filled with lots of fun holiday crafts, and things that I make for my kids.

    Thankful; Hand Embroidery Pattern & Tutorial

    Supplies

    • “Thankful” embroidery pattern – visit here to download it. 
    • 7-inch embroidery hoop
    • natural colored linen
    • embroidery floss (DMC 898, 422, 3862, 3777, 315, 3346, 3822, and 3852)
    • embroidery needles
    • felt for backing (optional)
    • dressmaker’s carbon paper to transfer the design (optional)

    Instructions

    I designed this pattern mostly because I wanted to try stitching up some acorns and brush up on my leaf-making skills. The acorns are made with little french knots and a satin stitch. The leaves are made using a fishbone stitch, and I love how they turned out! That stitch was a little tricky for me at first, but I think I’ve got it down now.

    About the Embroidery Stitches

    The hardest part for me is always the lettering because I want it to look perfect. I used a small backstitch for the letters and made the second row of stitches on the thicker parts. I tried to offset the second row of stitches from the first row because I just think it looks better that way. There’s really no right or wrong way to do it.

    Hi, I’m Jessica, and I blog at Cutesy Crafts.  I’m a stay-at-home mom to four cute kids, and I love all things crafty!  My blog is filled with all kinds of crafts, mostly for my kids and my home. I believe that handmade items are special because of the details and special touches that a machine can’t reproduce.  For that reason, I’m also a big fan of hand embroidery.  I hope I can inspire you to be creative!

      Thanks for this pretty project. I’ve also learned that my friends/family enjoy meaningful handmade items over store bought. Will make this one for myself, though!?
