Farm animal embroidery designs
Farm animal embroidery designs bring the barnyard to your hoop: cows, pigs, sheep, hens, roosters and chicks with rosy cheeks and a dark satin outline. Download free or premium files in the format your machine reads, from PES and JEF to EXP, VP3 and DST.
On terry bibs, lay a water-soluble topping over the loops so the outline and the eyes stay on the surface.

The barnyard group covers the classic farm animals: spotted cows, pink pigs, fluffy sheep, hens, roosters and little chicks. These farm animal embroidery designs suit farmhouse kitchen towels, aprons, baby bibs, burp cloths and the blocks of a barnyard quilt. Their rosy cheeks and round eyes sew last, so the faces stay bright on cream or white cotton.
Stitch a hen at 70 mm on a bib, a cow at 95 mm on a quilt block, and the 125 mm pig on the bib of an apron. When you plan several blocks, the stitch count on each design page tells you roughly how long each one will take.
Farm themes pair well with the truck and tractor designs, and horses and ponies have their own group in the horse designs. A cow or a pig with the child's name underneath also makes a simple farm birthday shirt.
Frequently asked questions
How do I embroider farm animals on quilt blocks?
Stitch each animal on its block before you piece the quilt, with a tear-away that comes off cleanly so the quilt stays soft. Cut the blocks a little larger than needed, embroider them, then trim each one with the animal centered. Use the same thread colors across the set so the finished rows look even.
Which farm animals work for Easter projects?
Chicks, hens and sheep are the classic Easter choices for napkins, basket liners and kids' outfits. Start in February or March so the stitching is done well before the holiday, and see the Easter designs for bunnies and painted eggs to add to the set.
