Need some new stitching inspiration? Guess what makes an awesome embroidery pattern? Henna designs! This is one I drew for my new book, it is inspired by traditional henna patterns. You can find lots of free henna designs just by searching google. Stitch one up in your favorite colors and you've got a lovely piece of art. (round ones are also perfect for framing in an embroidery hoop.)
