Elmow #21- Tile Design

Wow, is it Wednesday already?! I got sidetracked and didn’t get this posted very early, did I? Oops.
Here we go, though. A new counted pattern – very tile-like. I think this one would be cool repeated into a border or tiled for a pillow!

As always, I’d love to see what you make with it!
Stitch count – 42 X 42

Size when stitched on 14 count fabric – 3 x 3 inches.

Note: Elmows are distributed as a pdf file. If you don’t have it on your computer, you can get the free Adobe PDF Reader here. This creates a nice clean chart or pattern that you can print on your printer (and size up or down using a copy machine, or even work from the monitor, if you want.

What ARE these things? What can I do with them and is it safe to buy them from you?

Elmow #19 – Thistles?

This reminds me of thistles in the corners. Hence the name. :)

Not all Elmows are counted work – but this one is!

Reminder – please read–

Because of the size of my downloadable shopping cart (relatively small), after Elmow #12 I will have to begin rotating Elmows. This means that as I add a new one, the oldest remaining one will no longer be available. When Elmow #13 goes up, Elmow #1 comes down. #14 loses #2 and so forth. If you want older Elmows, now is the time to get them. :)
