Breast Cancer Butterfly Awareness Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Okay so a butterfly cascade is what ya get here, not a single bug. The whole design pours top to bottom like a vertical bouquet, soft pink butterflies layered over deep rose ones, lavender silhouettes peeking through the gaps and small magenta wings filling out the tail at the bottom. From a few feet away it reads as one tall ribbon-shape, walk up close and youll see individual butterflies.

Four thread colours rotate through the layers. Soft pink R255 G126 B203, deep rose R153 G1 B74, hot magenta R255 G2 B112, and a lil lavender R151 G37 B176 at the back. 11 deep rose butterflies, 15 soft pink ones, 6 lavender accent shapes, plus the one magenta band weaving through. The wing fills run as flat tatami so ya can stack the colours without bulk, density sits at 646 stitches per square inch.

I get orders for this one mostly from memorial quilt makers and tribute clothing customers. One customer stitched the medium on the the back of a denim shirt for her mums survivorship party last year. The customer kept reordering the small for a bunch of memory pillows, said she gives em to the families on her hospice route. Theyve been telling her the butterflies feel less heavy than a ribbon does.

Three sizes, the small at 5.5 by 3.28 inches up to the large at 7.5 by 4.46. Stitch counts run 15,266 on the small, 17 thousand and change on the medium, and 21,604 on the largest. The big size needs a stable hoop, a medium-weight cutaway holds it without bunching. Stitch on light woven cotton, linen or a soft blended jersey, colours read cleaner against pale ground. Pop a tearaway topping on if youre running it on jersey thats kinda loose. Avoid charcoal or navy cause the lavender just dies in there. Drop me a note if youd like this remapped to your machines colour palette.
