Six new stitching card patterns have been added to the Pinbroidery website. They complete the patterns inspired by the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas”. They feature twelve drummers drumming, eleven pipers piping, ten lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing, eight maids a milking and seven swans a swimming.

Each design has pricking patterns of two sizes: 144 x 144 mm (5.65 x 5.65 inches) and 152 x 104 mm (6 x 4½ inches). The square pricking pattern has words on two edges and the rectangular pattern omits the words.

Following customer feedback a set of six mini Christmas prick and stitch patterns have been released here at the Pinbroidery web site. The size of these patterns is 88 mm x 114 mm (3.5 x 4.5 inches). These mini patterns use sections of the larger Value Pack 3 Christmas patterns also available at Pinbroidery. They feature bells, candles, Happy Christmas, a fur tree, a poinsettia and a sleigh. These patterns make beautiful cards for the Christmas season.

Following customer feedback a set of six mini flower prick and stitch patterns have been released here at the PinBroidery web site. The size of these patterns is 88 mm x 114 mm (3.5 x 4.5 inches). These mini patterns use sections of the larger square William Morris inspired patterns also available here. They make a beautiful card for birthdays, congratulations and other special occasions.

If you want to try this size of pattern before you buy there are two free mini stitching patterns in the free section of our web site. These are a reworking of the free flower corners and star border patterns.

I chose the 88 mm x 114 mm size because blank double-fold cards of this size are readily available in the UK from suppliers such as Craft Creations.

A lot of customers have asked me to design smaller versions of the square PinBroidery patterns. When a customer asked for much smaller cards I realised that this could be achieved by taking elements of the larger design without reducing them. An experiment on the two free PinBroidery patterns showed that this was possible so I moved on to the William Morris inspired flower designs.

I am now working on some mini versions of the PinBroidery Christmas patterns.

Please let me know what you think about this smaller size of pattern.

PinBroidery customer Ivy Crowhurst has sent us a picture of her interpretation of the PinBroidery Christmas tree design. The tree is beautifully stitched in black thread with deep red beads for the decorations and red and silver beads for the candles. It makes a striking card that has a gothic feel to it.

Our new online shop has arrived and the first six patterns are available for purchase. More patterns will be added in due course.

PinBroidery is part of the Form-A-Lines Stitching Cards group and offers the same reliable and secure service.

This flower designs on the new patterns were inspired by the work of William Morris. He was a nineteenth century English architect, furniture and textile designer, artist and writer associated with the English Arts and Crafts Movement. It would make a beautiful card for birthdays, congratulations and other special occasions.

These PinBroidery patterns have more detail than a typical Form-A-lines pattern. I estimate that they will take about twice as long to stitch. I would be interested in any feedback on the time they take. Give us your thoughts in a comment to this post.
