Free Dia De Los Muertos Sugar Skull Embroidery Pattern

I love Halloween!  I was looking for a good sugar skull embroidery pattern and I came across a couple good ones like

Urban Threads Skull Pattern

Jenny Harts Day of the Dead Pattern

Marygold Sugar Skull Pattern by Polka and Bloom

However in the end I decided to make one myself.  Tom and I stayed up until 2 am the other night working on it.  We had so much fun!  I haven't had time to embroider a sample, but I wanted to get it out early enough for others to try.  I am going to try it out this week and will post when its finished.  I am a little concerned with how the mouth is going to turn out.  My plan is to fill in all the black areas around the teeth and leave the teeth white.  I might even make one gold! 

I am still working on the owl embroidery.  I ran out of brown thread for the branches so its back to JoAnns.

Free Embroidery Pattern

I have become addicted to drawing embroidery designs.  I confess, I haven't embroidered in days, but I have drawn up dozens of embroidery patterns.  I want to share one with you. 
This one was inspired by some of my favorite bedtime books when I was a child. 

I hope you enjoy them!  (click on image to download from flickr)

I started doodling last night and came up with this.  You are welcome to use it and enjoy!
