The last 2 free VOTE embroidery patterns


  

This is the last of the free vote patterns I've stitched. Lower in the post you will find a pattern I designed but don't have time to stitch. I hope you've enjoyed all these free patterns. I'll be getting back to my #bewell #stitchon free embroideries. I'm also planning on some holiday designs.

This freebie is a mostly patchwork design. All the pieces came from the same striped fabric. The applique is done with blanket stitch. In between the appliqued sections I did chain stitch. The heart outline is stem stitch as is the section with text. The text is back stitched. Lastly I did a running stitch outside the heart.


Have fun and make the sections smaller if you like!

Here's another design I'm sharing but not stitching. There's a lot of small back stitching to do all the text.

 
Right click the patterns to save them to your hard drive. You'll need to print a pattern for tracing then you'll need to cut it out for the fabric pattern to make the patchwork design. You may want 2 patterns printed.

Here are some photos of the tote I've been stitching all the VOTE embroideries to. I've added pins to the multi colored side and I still have to add them to the side with all the red, white, & blue designs.



Starting at the top left that vote has a silver star charm, the purple/green below has a dragonfly pin, and the pink rose vote has a ribbon rose with an Avon breast cancer pin. The brown/turquoise vote in the bottom row has a dragon that was an ear cuff. I bought it for about 50 cents at walmart last year. I removed the cuff and added the pin finding. The tea cup vote has a very old butterfly pin from Avon. I'm a collector of old jewelry and lucked out when I found I had a pin that matched the butterfly on the fabric. The rainbow vote has a butterfly stick pin that I stitched to the inside of the tote to keep it in place.

Hope you are going to vote, wear your mask, and please be kind to others.

Coming up to the last free VOTE pattern

 

 
I've been designing some embroidery pieces with birds so I thought it would be fun to do a VOTE with them, too. It's a fairly quick piece to embroider even if you decide to just embroider the birds instead of applique. I'm running out of room on the tote bag I've been stitching all the finished hearts to so I only have one more I'm making. I will post a design I just don't have time to embroider later this week.
 
The applique is stitched with blanket stitch, the text is back stitch, the tails are stem stitch with long french knot stitches, the beaks are just straight stitch, the eyes are french knots, and the heart outline is chain and stem stitches.

Don't forget to Vote next Tuesday or sooner, another free embroidery

This is number 9 and I'm finishing up 2 more this week so you'll have time to decorate a tote, jacket, hat, or whatever you like. I'll also list a few I designed but since the puppy haven't the time to embroider. 

You need to do tiny back stitches for the swirl motif. I used 2 strands of floss but if you can do the tracing very thin just 1 strand would be prefect. The text is part back stitch and part chain. The applique is blanket with stem stitch on the inside and chain on the out. I used 4 strands for the chain on the outside of the heart. Next to that stem stitch is a chain stitch using all 6 strands of floss.

Number 8 Free VOTE Embroidery

 

 
Ok, hope you like this one. Got the idea while having a cup of tea while working on designs. So whether you drink tea or coffee this is a fun one to make. I added a few glass beads but they could be embroidery instead. I also decided that applique on the saucer was enough but the rest of the cup could be done, too.
 
As for the stitches I used blanket for the applique, back stitch for the text and steam, everything else is chain stitch with stem stitch around it. 

Right click the pattern to save it to you hard drive. You'll need to print a pattern for tracing then you'll need to cut it out for the fabric pattern. You may want 2 patterns printed.
