Simple Rose Embroidery Design
Simple hand embroidery designs can be elegant and beautiful, quick to work up, and a pleasure to give as gifts, and this rose design is no exception. It's pretty, very simple, and would look great on any hand embroidered project - from clothing to household linens, guest towels to curtains, this little design makes an elegant statement. Its simplicity is part of the appeal.
This is a corner pattern. To lengthen the lines, you'll have to trace and manipulate the repeats.
While colors are perfectly suitable for the design (in fact, I think variegated floss might look pretty nice, with the right color selections), the design would serve well in a single color, too. On guest towels or other household linens, you can add a personal touch with an initial. This would make a great wedding or anniversary gift! (Hint: an easy way to acquire initials for embroidery designs is to check out your computer fonts...)
Click on the pattern for a larger version, then right click to save it to your computer. You can mirror the image for the opposite corner by flipping it horizontally in your photo editing program, or you could turn it over and trace it after printing. Enlarge or decrease the design on your computer or on a photocopier.
What do you think of it, and how would you suggest using it? Feel free to share your ideas with the rest of us!!!

Hi,
You asked for comments about this pattern, so here it is!
I LOVE this pattern. I am VERY new at hand embroidery and this will be a simple, beautiful pattern for me to use. It is very hard to find flowers that I can actually do as a beginner (and have them turn out nicely), but I am very excited to start on this pattern. Thank you!
I'm hand-embroidering handkerchiefs as thank-yous to the people helping in my wedding, and I'm going to do this little border with a lower-case K for my maid of honor. I'm excited--it looks lovely. I've enjoyed your monogram patterns as well! (I have another K bridesmaid, and I've already stitched up the K monogram). Thanks!
i love this pattern too. here's my idea on how to do it I would alternate the roses in shades of red and pink. the bud part of the roses would be one color and the open bud peteals a different color and all in satin stich. I have a thing about incorporating as much color into something as possible. originally i thought it would look cool if a ll colors blended in long and short stich put for some reason i cant do that stich and have it come out looking good... so back to the design.... the vines would be in a dark green with the backstich (thats the one that looks like little ants right?)and the leaves in a lighter green in stemstich. i know it sounds weird mary but in my head i can see it perfect.... i may just make this my next project.
beautiful, simple and versatile! thanks for sharing!
This is a great design, i mixed it with some other patterns of roses and am making a table cloth with it and am doing it in long and short stick with three shades of pink for the roses, its turning out lovely. thanks a lot
I d be using this pattern on the front of my shirt.
