Friday-Free Patterns

Friday again. Time for the Free Patterns. Here they are..

The above two are folk or tribal designs from India. Motifs of trees, crops, leaves, flowers etc are quite common and popular in folk and tribal designs. These are used to decorate the mud walls.

The above can be painted or embroidered.  Stitches like Running, Chain, Lazy daisy, Satin can be used for this design. These motifs can be used on blouses, saris, bags, cushion covers, or bed linen, Kitchen linen, purses etc. A single motif or a series of motifs can be used. You can enlarge this motif or reduce the size as you like.

Hope you like them.
