Bee with Daisy Flowers Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This one came about after I kept seeing requests for something with bees that wasnt just a standalone insect design. So I digitised it with the bee kinda just nestled into the flowers, like its actually doing its job. The daisies are white with yellow centres, the leaves behind them are a muted sage-green, and the bee sits over the top with those amber and black body stripes and wings that look almost see-through because of how I structured the underlay beneath them. Its a pretty layered composition for the size.

Set up in industry tools, and the sequencing runs amber fill first, then the green leaf areas, then white petals, then the black outlines last. That order matters because the black outline pass ties the whole thing together visually. Four colours, 3 colour changes, and the stitch count runs from 10,126 stitches at 3.5 inches up to 23,723 stitches at 7.5 inches. The density is 739 stitches per inch on the fill areas which gives the bee body that solid coverage without puckering on quilting cotton.

One customer ordered the mid 4.5 in for a set of spring table runners in white linen and said it held its shape through the wash really well. The daisy petals are the most delicate part of the design because theyre satin columns on a white ground, so you want good stabiliser contact across the whole hoop. Im gonna say cutaway is your safest option on stretch or knit fabrics, but tearaway works fine on woven cotton or linen. Use a water-soluble topping on anything textured.

Stitch it on a pale yellow linen apron, a gardening hat, a canvas tote, or a spring baby shower onesie. The design is wide at 7.5 inches and only 4.28 inches tall so it suits landscape-oriented placements. Add a neutral tan or cream background for the best colour payoff. Send me a note if you need a different size or if the file gives you any trouble and Ill fix it.
