Free Embroidery Wreath Pattern – Aurifil Artisan Challenge

This stunning Floral Wreath Embroidery Design was originally created as part of a monthly challenge for Aurifil Artisans. I’m so pleased to offer you the free pattern here. Simply add your details below, then check your email inbox for the PDF pattern. Then read on for more information and stitching ideas!

As part of the original challenge, Aurifil sent me some gorgeous spools of 6 stranded embroidery floss to add to my ever growing collection of colours. Each wooden spool of Cotton Floss is wrapped with 16 metres of 100% thread, in the most delicious colours. Here’s just a few!

For the challenge, I designed a five inch wreath design which is a mix of flowers and leaves all sewn with the most basic of embroidery stitches; back stitch, lazy daisy stitch and French knots. You can find out more about sewing the basic stitches in my Stitch Library.

The first embroidered wreath was stitched in colours that scream Molly and Mama – think pretty pastels, peach and green!

The second version was sewn in moody blues! It’s amazing how different a design can look by just changing the fabric and thread colours!

I love the tiny little white French knots! They’re stitched with two strands of floss. The rest of the design is sewn using three strands.

My pastel version is also super sweet. I love the paler hues.

I also wanted to try a fabric and thread that contrasted well.

Who would have thought that white floss and blue linen would have made such a winning combination? I also love the addition of the little strips of Liberty floral fabric wrapped around the outer hoop for display. If you’d like to learn how to display your own embroidery in this way, you might enjoy THIS TUTORIAL.

The free pattern for this design is available when you sign up to receive the Molly and Mama newsletter. It also links to my series on Embroidery for Beginners. I hope you find some of the posts useful.

And if you’re looking to try a silky, smooth, cotton embroidery floss that gently unravels off the spool (and doesn’t get tangled and twisted instead), I would highly recommend Aurifil’s Cotton Floss. I love it! You can find stockists on their website.
