Live Life with Passion

Spring has finally come to Michigan this week. I think this will be the first week we haven’t had snow or some kind of frost on the ground. Needless to say, it’s a cold spring so far.

Needing a little bit of spring between the snowflakes, I pulled a couple of my favorite spring colors and drew this flower, and then added a saying, “Live Life with Passion.”

Check out some of the other free flower embroidery patterns here.

The entire pattern was done with one strand of floss. The blue flower was all French knots. The rest of the flower is simple back stitching. The leaves are just filled in with stitching in random areas to fill in the space, and then back stitches on the border.

Here is what you’ll need to get started:

• DMC – 3841 (light blue)
• DMC – 164 (light green)
• DMC – Diamant GRANDE Grande DMC381-G225 Beige
• Embroidery hoop
• Muslin, or your choice of fabric
• Fabric scissors
• Embroidery scissors
• Embroidery needle
• Embroidery transfer pen (I love these)
• Light box or sunny window

Instructions for getting the pattern onto the fabric:

• Save PDF pattern (below)
• Print PDF pattern in the size you want (i.e. – 8×10, 5×7, 4×6, etc.). (More on that here.)
• Tape pattern to the light box or sunny window
• Tape the fabric you want to stitch on over the pattern, being careful to center your design
• With embroidery pens, trace all lines onto the fabric
• Carefully remove tape from the fabric and pattern
• Place fabric in hoop and stitch
