Earlier this month, I shared a free hand embroidery pattern for stylized grapes with you.

Well, here’s a similar design, only this is for wheat. Both designs are the same size, and they’d make nice matching “tiles” for embroidery.

Just like the grapes embroidery pattern, this wheat design has lots of possibilities – from whitework, to goldwork, to silk shading, or just simple surface embroidery on a kitchen towel.

They can both be adapted to church embroidery projects as well. An alternating series of them could be spaced along the front of an altar frontal, for example.

Here’s the PDF printable for the wheat design:

The design prints at about 5″ tall, but you can enlarge or reduce it to suite your needs.
