It is finally feeling like fall here in St. Louis. It’s cool, it’s windy, and acorns are pinging me in the head. Yes – that really happened. It was like a little bullet flying through the sky and right into my nogen – ouch!
Fortunately the flying pellet knocked a bit of inspiration into me. As I was thinking about flying acorns, then acorns in general – I thought – “an acorn might be something cute to digitize and stitch out.” For example, a couple of little acorns stitched on a napkin could autumn-up a table for a Thanksgiving meal.
So maybe my little acorn will knock some inspiration into you. Enjoy!
Download the free acorn embroidery file
On a slightly related but different note. I just re-uploaded all the free files that I have posted since beginning this feature on the blog. I realized that the PES files were not centered properly so some people were having trouble opening them. So I fixed them. Please keep in mind that not all of the free files are sized to fit in a 4″ x 4″ hoop. If you have any problems using them – please let me know.
