Botanical Poppy Bloom Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Five red poppies all going at once, some fully open with those wide scarlet petals fanning out, one bud still curled tight, one half-open showing the dark charcoal centre coming through. Each stem is the proper bristly hairy type you actually see on real poppies, not a smooth cartoon stalk. The leaves are serrated and sit in little clusters along the stems. Five colours total: crimson red for the petals, that near-black grey in the centres, sage green stems and leaves, mustard yellow pollen, and a lighter scarlet edge-tone on the outer petals.

The digitising on this one is kinda the thing Im most pleased about. Petal direction changes per bloom so each flower looks like its sitting at a different angle. The fully open poppy at the right has petals sweeping outward with the stitching following the actual grain direction, not just a flat fill. Thats the sort of directional stitching that separates it from generic floral designs. Comes in 9 ranging 3.5-7.5 to a 7.5 top, going from 1k stitches on the smallest to just under 20k on the biggest. Dont skip the medium sizes either, the 5-inch is particularly clean.

People use this one for a few different things but honestly the most common order I get is for linen cushion covers and wall-frame hoops for gardens, conservatories, country-kitchen spaces. One customer sent me a photo of it stitched on a raw-edge cream linen tote back in may and honestly it looked like something from a botanical print shop.

Back it with poly-mesh under if youre hooping cotton twill or denim. Tearaway works fine on stable woven linen. Slow the speed on the petals because the density here builds up and rushing causes bunching. Pop it on olive, cream or oatmeal backgrounds for that proper botanical-print feel. Send me message if the file behaves weird and I will rework it.
