Sometimes we are stumped with what embroidery design we want to use.  Perhaps we are bored with our normal go to pattern, or maybe we just can’t find the perfect fit for a project.

This amazing list from NeedleNThread has over 100 free Hand Embroidery Patterns to choose from.  Wow!  I don’t even know where to begin, but they are all beautiful.   They have everything from borders to flowers. Some of my favorite ones are featured above. Have you used a chart from this roundup? Pop back and let us know. View all the patterns here.

There are so many different designs that we couldn’t narrow it down to one top 10 or top 20 so that is why we are linking to their complete 100 free embroidery design collection. We hope you get lost in the designs as much as we did.

While embroidery is done all across the world, it originated in China and the Middle East. Early needlework dates back to the Cro-Magnon period, approximately 30,000 B.C. This ancient period’s archeological findings include fossilized remains of elaborately hand-stitched and ornamented clothes.

Embroidery has been around for centuries and is still popular today. The dying art of hand embroidery is especially popular, as it is a more personal way to create a piece of art.

There are many different ways to embroider, and each has its own unique style. You can use traditional embroidery stitches to create a beautiful piece of work, or you can use more modern techniques to create a more contemporary look.

Regardless of the style you choose, embroidery is a great way to add a touch of beauty and individuality to your projects. Keep the tradition alive by using hand embroidery instead of a machine, and you’ll be sure to create beautiful pieces that will be remembered for years to come.

    I’m looking for realistic woodland creatures, forest animals to embroidery or to do crool work patterns. Having a hard time finding what I’m looking for.

    Look for Trish Burr designs, or Helen Stevens. Both have books that might be available at your local library. If you find a picture you like, make a black & white copy then put tracing paper over it and trace the outlines–broken lines could indicate stitch direction or color changes. Ot look at Audubon magazines at the library.
