The Accidental Embroiderer

A freebie to cheer us up

Why is life never easy? The other day my old Mackintosh computer died, and as I had all my records on it, going back for years, I was totally lost. I now have a new Mac, but of course not my records. Yes, I did back everything up, but for various boring reasons I can’t get at them, at least not for the moment

However, that’s enough of my problems! I’am VERY late with April’s freebie, for which many apologies. It’s a nice cheerful little spring tree, very colourful. I can’t remember where the inspiration came for it, but it might be useful on a cushion or perhaps a bag

Something colourful for spring

I hope spring is coming for you, where-ever you are. Here in the Scottish Highlands we’re still having snow, but that means we’ll appreciate warm weather all the more when it comes

Anyway, I'm having problems with Typepad at the moment (probably the fault of the new Mac) but if you click on this link here you SHOULD get the little tree, in .pes v.6. Good luck!

Something bright for spring

Recently I’ve been spending most of my time putting together collections for my “shop” on the Secrets of Embroidery website. They’re very friendly and helpful people so I don’t mind giving them some publicity here! (my shop is at https://secretsof.com/machine-embroidery/designs/The-Accidental-Embroiderer, if you want to have a look)

My latest collections to go up are the Charley Harper bellpull (which some readers might recognise from past postings here) a collection of round “medallion” designs, and one of large, bright flowers. These last may be a bit over the top as far as colours go, but we need something to cheer us up in the grey imitation of spring! (Well, I do anyway!) So here are a few designs from that collection. By the way, I’m a bit late with April’s freebie, but I’ll sort that out next week
