Herb patterns
I am so happy to finally be able to tell you that my herb embroidery patterns are now available. I really don't know why I have been so slow with these - they have been ready for a little while!
But anyway, here they are! Five of them: sage, oregano, parsley, chervil and basil. Available in the shop, of course. This week only (until Sunday) you can buy one and get one free, just quote "gimme some free herbs" in note to seller and let me know which free herb you want. :-)
I love them to bits. So far I have embroidered them on tea towels and placemats. I could also see them looking really lovely on a table cloth. But that's a bigger project so that's not going to happen right now... ;-)
I have worked them in either white or some variation of green, but I think it would be pretty to use other colours. Maybe red on pink or white on blue. I guess that's one of the best things about embroidery; it's so versatile. Changing the colour of the size of thread makes for so many different expressions.

Bird embroidery patterns
Oh me! Oh my! I am all a-twitter with joy because I can finally show you my bird patterns! I do hope you like them - they have been so much fun to make. And I suspect that I am not entirely done making birdie patterns. Because, well, you know, there's like a million different birds out there!
They are available in pairings like you see them in the images: lady duck (what is mrs duck called?) and robin; macaw and flamingo; gull and puffin. You have to be seriously coldhearted not to love that little puffin guy. Just look at him!
Can't you just imagine them all on a quilt? Maybe with even more birds! Because, I am not done with the birds yet, remember? Or how about all in a row in embroidery hoops? They are all available in the shop.
And! There's more: a free penguin pattern for your stitching pleasure. Yay! You can download it by rightclicking on this link and then 'save link' or simply click on the image below and then save the pdf file you are taken to.

Bicycle patterns - BOGOF*
Hey, right now Tony is out there on his bike, clicking down the 60 miles to Southend. In a couple of hours, Tony's dad will come pick me up so we can go meet him at the finish. He is aiming to do the 60 miles in 4 hours or less! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will stay dry!
As you know, through July I am donating the proceeds from the 2 bicycle patterns to the British Heart Foundation because that is what Tony is doing this bike ride for. I thought I should support my man, right? ;-)
Well, if you've wanted either of the patterns, but haven't got it yet, now's the time to strike! Until 9 pm (UK) tonight you can buy one bicycle pattern and get the other bicycle pattern for free! Click here to see when 9 pm is in your time zone.
Right, you can head over to either the Artfire or Etsy shop or use the Paypal button below.
And now I think I better go get ready and make some sandwiches and stuff. Have a great Sunday whatever you're doing!
*BOGOF = buy one get one freeeeee! ;-)
