Hope you find the asphalt useful Molly. Seamless textures are sort of a niche for me since I often enjoy creating them. GIMP has so many ways to create these cool textures.

You can either save these 2 images in your gimp patterns folder or download the zip archive i have attached.
The same images are in the zip file.

You are most welcome.
The embroidery effect is created from the embroidery script ran over some text with a gradient fill.

Thanks, Rod. Always looking for good denim patterns.

The blue one, I did Filters > Render > Clouds > Solid Noise, checked Tilable and set the layer mode to Dodge to make it a bit faded.

Very cool O, just love the little Jeans.

So not having much inspiration to create anything arty decided to have a go at a tileable pattern.

Brushed Stainless Steel

That is a nice one, thanks he4rty.

ek22 - very nice.

Thanks EK, very nice.

he4rty: looks great, thanks!

Here are few patterns I recently created. Hope you find them useful.

GnuTux: really cool patterns! thanks for sharing

Thanks, Anmal.

I actually left one out. I've updated the post & added it to the zip file.

Thank you Tux, very nice.

So made this for the thread warrior started What Can You Do With This Photo? for one of my images attempts.

playing around with ofnuts' Seamless Helper, ended up with a few keepers...

Thank you, I like both of them very much.
