Bloom Hand Embroidery Pattern
With the great weather we have been having, I was inspired to stitch up something pretty for spring. I don’t know what it is about hand embroidery, but I love it so much! I’ve got a free hand embroidery pattern for you today, and throughout the next few weeks, I’ll be recording a video stitch-along to show you each of the stitches. Subscribe to my YouTube channel to make sure you don’t miss it! Scroll to the bottom of this post or click here to see all of the videos that have been published. If you need help with any of the stitches, I also have video guides on my embroidery stitches guide page.
It all started with these pretty flowers that I just had to try. They stitched up so beautifully, and they are a lot easier than they look. They are made using a woven wheel stitch, with a french knot in the middle. I’m not really sure what kind of flowers that makes them, but I love the way they turned out.
Stitching the words like this was a first for me as well. Again, super easy though. All I did was outline each letter in a back stitch and then filled them in using a back stitch as well.
The large leaves were done in a fishbone stitch, and the small leaves are lazy daisy stitch.
I used a seven inch hoop and stitched it on natural linen fabric. I was a dummy and wound my floss on new spools before labeling them, so I only know some of the colors that I used: DMC 335, 3779, 501, 368, and 3799. That should just leave you needing a light orange and yellow I think.
The rest of the stitches are listed on the pattern.
I’m so happy with how this hoop turned out, and I really enjoyed relaxing with some hand embroidery.
I’m thinking my craft room might need a whole wall of embroidery hoops, so I’ll have an excuse to make more. What do you think? Make sure to check out my other hand embroidery designs. I’ve got lots of free embroidery patterns!
Here is the first video for the stitch-along. Click here to watch the rest on YouTube.

Hi, I was wondering what order I embroidery this pretty wreath? Do I do everything in the order of your videos: the Woven Wheel roses, the French Knots, Fishbone Leaves etc.? Or does it not matter?
It doesn’t really matter, but I usually try to show the videos in the order I chose to stitch them. I like to do the flowers before stems. That way, if my flower ends up a little smaller than I was planning, I can make my stem a little longer to compensate.
You are nowhere giving the embroidery pattern/outline to download. you are just showing designs. very disappointing

This is a beautiful pattern & your videos were so helpful! I just finished the wreath portion & am waiting for my great niece to be born so I can put her first initial or name (if it’s short!) in the middle. I have been using your videos and patterns since the fall to learn embroidery. I’m having a ball! Thank you so much!
I just finished a wreath based off this! It was the first one I had attempted and it helped so much having your instructions and pictures to help me.
Thankyou!!!
Wow! The words looked so complicated to do but they were so easy!! This pattern turned out great for me! I’m thinking of doing your “Choose to believe” pattern next. I have been following your blog since I started embroidery. Thank you so much!!
This is so pretty! I love the different types of leaves and flowers, as well as the effect of the backstitching in the lettering. Gorgeous! š Lisa
Thank you so much!
I just want to say you freakin’ rock and I am so excited to learn how to embroider using your content! Thank you for sharing your expertise and beautiful designs with the world for free. I have been wanting to learn for awhile and just graduated from college, so money is tight so I really cannot thank you enough. XOXO
Oh thank you! I’m SO glad that I’m able to teach you to embroider via the internet. Embroidery is a fairly inexpensive hobby, so you chose a good one. š Have fun!
I really like your embroidery pattern, it’s soo beautiful ??
Thank you so much!
Hi, love this pattern
If I want to replace “Bloom” with Welcome or Spring, do you have alphabet patterns somewhere?
It’s just a font I downloaded called “Ballerina Script” on dafont. You can type it on a word document or something.
Where did you get your linen fabric? Did you Pre-wash your fabric before starting the project? Thanks!
I just use 100% linen from Joann fabric. I don’t wash it since it’s not something that I’m going to wash later.
Which type of stitch used for the font?
I used a backstitch. Two sid-by-side rows on the thicker parts. Follow the link to my YouTube videos to see the stitching in action.
I can’t find the pattern link anywhere?

THANK YOU so much for those videos!! I had never hand embroidered before but have been wanting to learn because they would make the perfect addition to the sweet little girl dresses I sew. I was so shocked when I actually finished and it looked pretty good, thanks to your wonderful instructions! Please, please, please make some more videos š
Oh, this makes me SO happy to hear!! I wasn’t sure if I was going to post the videos, and I’m so glad that I did. This is exactly why I made them… so that people can see how easy it can be to embroider. š I’m definitely going to make more videos. Thank you so much for leaving a comment! <3
What kind of fabric are you stitching on?
It’s 100% linen fabric.
Beautiful! I would like to make this for my mother in law for her 90th birthday but want to stitch the word ‘CELEBRATE’ instead. What font did you use please. Thanks!
Cute! I used “Ballerina Script” which you can get on dafont.com.
Excuse me…may ask ..
How to make a pattern ..i’m a newbie
I usually sketch out my ideas and then scan it into my computer. I use a free program called Inkscape to trace my designs so I can resize and fine tune them.
Hi, quick question. What type of embroidery floss did you use and where can I purchase? Thanks
I use DMC embroidery floss that you should be able to get at Joanns or Michaels.
This is so perfect! I love the use of new (to me) stitches. I can’t wait to give it a try! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! So glad you like it. š I loved trying out these stitches too, and I can’t wait to try more!
