Bee, Strawberry, Sun & Flower Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Four summer things in a row, left to right: a small white daisy with a yellow centre and a single dark green stem, then a strawberry thats mostly cherry red with thin yellow seed-line stitching on the surface and leafy green cap at the top, then a round golden sun with pointed rays shooting out in all directions, and last a bee with a fat black-and-yellow striped body and two small light blue wings fanned out wide. Each one sits on the same invisible baseline so the strip reads as a unit.

Theres alot of colour in the set but not alot of stitches per element, 7 colours across all 4 icons with a top stitch count of 10,729 at the largest size. Because each icon is compact the density sits light, which is why it works well on knit fabric like jersey onesies without needing heavy stabilising. The bee wings are the most delicate section, digitising tools ran a satin column approach so those pale blue wings read clean against the yellow body without bleeding.

I get messages from buyers about this one every summer. Last march one customer wrote me making birthday party totes for a bunch of kids and ran 12 bags in the 5.5-inch wide size on natural canvas. Said the bee was everyones favourite and she had kids pointing at it before they even saw the rest of the bag. That bee element reads even at the tiniest size in the set.

Run on tearaway on stable wovens, light cutaway on jersey and stretchy fabrics. Dont hoop jersey too tight or the icons will pull inward when you release the tension. Best on white, cream, or soft yellow cotton so all 7 colours read at full saturation. Pair a mid-grey bobbin thread under so nothing shows through on lighter fabric. Skip dark fabric here because the white daisy petals get lost immediately.
