Floral themed Stitchers templates for hand embroiderers

I designed this set of stitchers templates around a floral theme. With this set, you can combine petal and leaf shapes with the curved edges of the templates to create all sorts of floral and organic motifs and create hundreds of different patterns to embroider. It is the ultimate mix-and-match fun for stitchers.

The set comes with an e-book with instructions. It is filled with patterns and design suggestions. Use them to create and use as jumping-off spots for your own designs.

  1. Hi Sharon,

    I very much enjoy seeing your TAST emails each week. It is selfish of me but I really hope you continue with TAST as it provides a whole new variety of stitching that I would not otherwise be aware of. Have a great Christmas.

    I was not sure if I would complete the first two but after some effort, finally did.
    I’m off now to do today’s stitch, which looks good.

    I’m happy with whatever the majority of readers go for regarding doing TAST next year.
    Thanks again Sharon for the constant help you give us.

  3. Thank you! I’m a very late starter to TAST, but you’ve certainly enlarged my stitching vocabulary. I don’t have any interesting samplers to show off, sorry – I just work a few stitches and staple them into a folder – but thanks to you I’m now using a wider range of stitches in my embroidery projects.

  4. Please do continue TAST next year! Even if I didn’t post my samples for quite a while I enjoy the stitches and stitch along on crazy quilt blocks whenever I find time to. Thanks so much for your engagement!
