Jenny, from Sublime Stitching, has created a free Fourth of July gift for you all!
She has created a totally free fireworks embroidery pattern, and then uploaded it to Flickr, so everyone can download it and use the pattern for some holiday fun

There lots of different options for embroidery patterns.  Why not embellish a favorite t-shirt?  Just place a layer of tear-away interfacing behind it and stitch away.  Did you know that you can embroider on paper?  Transfer the pattern and have fun.  How about enlarging the pattern and making a patriotic tote bag?

I love Dover Publications books of iron-on embroidery transfer, clip-art and copyright-free designs! Did you know that they also offer free clip-art & patterns by email subscription?
