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.

Just as described, I can’t wait to get started! It is beautiful. Thank you for this design.
Can't wait to start stitching this gorgeous pattern! :)
This pattern is amazing, and so is the stitch guide!! There is so much great information in both. I’m new-ish to embroidery and I love the step by step details.
I was so impressed with this pattern and the detailed instructions that accompanied it! The embroidery stitch guide is brilliant! It really helps a beginner embroider like myself to get started on my new hobby. There was obviously a lot of thought, skill , and care that went into preparing this pattern and guide. Thank you!
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.

“Everwoven Heart” is an original Celtic-inspired embroidery featuring an interlaced knotwork design in soft rose and plum tones. With its looping, continuous pathways and gentle colour transitions, the piece has a calm, meditative feel - my little ode to connection, patience, and the quiet beauty of things woven together.
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.
“Winter Pansy” is a small, original embroidery study of a single blue-and-white pansy, stitched on delicate organza for a soft, airy finish. It’s a simple, quiet piece - just a pretty flower with gentle shading and a cool, wintry palette.
