Thread Painting Palettes - Digital Embroidery Pattern & Resource
This collection of thread-painting palettes grew out of my own early struggles with choosing and blending colours. I always wished I had a little reference guide to point me in the right direction, so I made one. Inside are 20 curated palettes (each with six DMC shades) that you can stitch into a sampler or simply keep as a digital reference guide for future projects.

I haven’t made the bee yet, but wanted to give a shout out to the seller for including an embroidery guide that is thorough and so helpful. So generous!
Comes with many transfer sizes. Instructions are well done especially for beginners.
Very nice pattern with all the informs to you need!
Where to begin with telling you about this item?! Let me tell you, you would be disappointed if you didn't purchase it. Suzanna has created the most perfect set of instructions to help guide you from the very beginning. I combined this pattern with Suzanna's thread painting colour wheel and chose a colour pallete that blends beautifully. She has really taken all the hard work and put it into crating such fantastic patterns that are then easy to replicate.
Product Description
When I first started thread painting, colour blending felt like trying to read a map without knowing the symbols. I loved the process, but I often found myself wishing for a simple reference - something to help me see how shades could flow into one another. This palette collection is the result of that wish.
It includes 20 curated colour palettes, each built from six DMC threads, arranged to show you how the colours sit together and how they might blend. You can stitch them into a tidy little sampler if you like following along step by step, or you can just use the palettes as a reference whenever you’re planning a new project.
It’s a practical, gentle resource for anyone learning the rhythm of colour blending, and a surprisingly lovely piece to stitch on its own. Whether you’re experimenting, building confidence, or just looking for inspiration, it’s meant to be a friendly companion on your thread-painting journey.

Bloom & Blade I is an original embroidered hoop featuring two intertwining vines growing around a silver sword charm. Each vine is stitched in a slightly different green, with its own flowers, meeting and winding together as they rise. It’s a gentle, symbolic piece about balance, connection, and choosing to grow side by side.
Bloom & Blade II is an original embroidered hoop featuring a silver sword entwined with a dense wreath of green vines and small pink blossoms. More enclosed and abundant than the first piece in the series, it feels like a blade slowly being claimed by growth - softened, hidden, and held.
This little trio of mushrooms is a sweet, simple stitch for beginners or anyone who enjoys the calm of a small woodland project. The design has clean lines, soft shading, and plenty of room to play with colours if you fancy it. It’s a gentle, cheerful way to ease into thread painting.
This simple flower is a lovely first step into thread painting. The design is clean and calm, giving you space to play with colour blending without feeling overwhelmed. There’s a suggested palette to get you started, but you can easily make it your own. It’s a sweet little piece to gift or to tuck into your own collection.
This little fuzzy bee is a lovely way to add some texture to your stitching. It’s beginner-friendly and introduces turkey stitch, which gives the bee that soft, touchable fluff. It’s a simple, cheerful design - perfect if you’re in the mood to try something a bit different and enjoy a playful finish.
This hedgehog wreath is one of those pieces that feels a bit like stumbling across a tiny secret in the woods. Three little hedgehogs curl up among forget-me-nots, apples, and blossoms - soft, gentle details that are a joy to stitch and even nicer to sit with for a while. It’s a cosy, nature-loving design for anyone who enjoys letting their needle wander into whimsical places.
