Bee and Roses Embroidery Design, Instant Download

A chunky bumblebee sits right in the centre of a cluster of full-blown roses, wings spread wide, resting there with this kinda quiet confidence. Its a silhouette composition, all charcoal black on white, no colour at all. The bumblebee has companion flowers around it, smaller roses half-open and in bud, lil bell flowers, round berries on thin stems, leaves in different shapes. Monochrome, which is what makes it feel like a vintage botanical print rather than a kiddy bee design.

The bumblebee body has lovely directional stitching on the stripes and the wing veins are done with fine linework so they stay readable even on the small 3-in. Rose petals use a satin fill that gives em that soft curved look, like each petal has a lil bit of depth. Single colour, 1 thread load, no colour changes at all. Drop it on a white linen tote and its done. The 12k stitch count on the biggest size keeps it light enough to run on lightweight fabrics without puckering.

I get pings for this from people making botanical-themed gifts, wedding favour bags, market stalls for handmade honey sellers. One customer last spring ordered 40 linen pouches for a local beekeeper's market stand and sent me photos after, really looked the part. Theres something about bees-with-roses that reads as both nature-forward and a lil bit elegant at the same time.

Stitch on natural linen, ivory cotton, or cream canvas for that proper vintage herbarium feel. Pop the bigger 7.5-inch on a tote bag and the smaller 4-inch on a makeup bag or coin pouch. Pair firm tearaway for woven fabrics and slow your machine down a touch on the satin sections. Ping me if anything looks off when finished and Ill get it fixed up.
