"Always" Embroidery Project- Perfect for Valentine's Day!

Hi! It's Jilly. My bloggy friend Jenna at Call Her Happy has been posting pics on Instagram of all her darling embroidery projects lately, and it inspired me to pick up the needle again! I haven't embroidered anything in ages! I'm not very good, mind you, but it's nice to make something once in a while.

I wanted to add something to my Valentine's Day decor, and the wheels started turning! Since I'm such a big HP geek (and my kids are, too), I thought the word "always" would be a nice little thing to stitch. (If you don't know why "always" is important in Harry Potter, watch this clip.) Plus, Hubby and I like to watch Once Upon a Time together, and in that show Prince Charming and Snow White say to each other "I will always find you". I think it is so sweet! Any other OUAT fans out there?! Can I get a "Woot!"?!

To make this, all I did was use a pencil to write "always" in cursive on my fabric, then added a few little hearts for good measure. Then I...embroidered it. (Amazing, I know. I told you I wasn't a pro!)

FREE Fall embroidery pattern from Jenna at Call Her Happy!

Hi! It's Jilly. I am soooo excited about today's post from my bloggy friend Jenna at Call Her Happy! It's the perfect Fall project! Let's see this sweet craft!

You know what makes embroidery the perfect craft for a busy mom? You can pick it up and put it down whenever you need to, and you don't have to worry about remembering where you left off or how to start back up again.

And, it's an even more perfect craft for Fall because is there anything cozier than snuggling on the couch, watching late season baseball, drinking a vente-decaf-skinny-sugar-free-vanilla-latte and doing a little stitching? I can tell you from present experience, there is not.

So, if your crafty soul needs a little love, pick up a few supplies and check out this free pattern I whipped up just for Hi! It's Jilly! readers.

 

Fun Tip: Color in the leaves with a colored pencil to add a fun pop of color to your project.

Print the free pattern below by saving the image to your computer first.

And, once you stitch it, share your pictures with us on Instagram: @callherhappy and @hi_its_jilly.

Have a crunchy Fall!

Jenna! This pattern is seriously so cute! I can't wait to run to the craft store and get the supplies I need to make this! You are right...it's a perfect Fall craft for busy moms! Thank you for the free pattern!

I love Jenna's idea of showing us your finished projects on Instagram. I look forward to seeing your beautiful embroidery!
