Before I start the party, I'd like to give you a sneak peek at what I've been working on this week. It's not quite done yet. I still have to tweak an element that isn't shown in the picture but take a look anyway:
What do you think?Yes, those lines are made by embroidering on the paper but you can draw the lines in with a ruler and marker too. I like that you can change the entire look of the design just by adjusting where you start stitching or drawing. Here, take a look at these two:
They are the exact same file. I cut it twice and started stitching in two different spots. What makes it even better is that it just looks complicated! The stitching is so easy; after the first stitch, you just move over one hole at a time.And that brings us to this week's free file, the Embroidered Square shown above with the full cutting and stitching instructions included. Even though it is offered freely here, it is still governed by my Terms of Use. Thanks for sending your friends here to download the file for themselves.

Very cool! Thanks Ileana!!
Oh Ileana!!! You're SO right!!! It does remind me of them...GORGEOUS creation btw!!!!!!
I haven't played with one of these in years. We used to wind crochet thread around small brads/nails. I only did one with a needle and thread on posterboard once because it was so hard to pierce the paper. This will make it fun again. Thanks!
I've done a few of these. It's a lot of fun. Good to see designs for our cutters. Thanks for the freebie.

WOW Ileana, that is gorgeous. Thanks for the freebie.
These are gorgeous.
I remember those thread pictures from the 70s and also Spirograph. I used to love my Spirograph, I gave to my sister's 2 eldest children, then last year she gave it back to me, the box is a little battered but all the wheels are there.
Oh, such memories, takes me back to my youth.
Thanks for sharing.
