Butterflies with Purple Flowers Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Two butterflies sitting in a flower cluster, wings open, not flying away. The flowers underneath are big open 5-petal blooms in medium purple with orange dot centres, 3 of them clustered on a branching dark green stem with paired oval leaves. The butterflies have wing vein detail stitched in, the main wing fill is a deeper purple and the inner sections near the body are a lighter periwinkle which gives the wing shape its dimension.

Eight colours total, 7 colour changes. The olive green stem and leaf sections have directional fill following the natural leaf curves, the kind of detail genuinely hard to see until its on fabric, and then you cant stop noticing it. White accent stitching on the flower petals adds a radiating line detail from the orange centre outward. At 4.5 inches everything reads clearly. At the small 2.8-inch version it simplifies slightly but wing veins and petal lines are still visible.

I get messages about purple butterfly designs pretty regularly around spring. Back in april a buyer ran a custom batch at the 4-inch run for linen napkins as a mothers day gift for her mum who does the garden every weekend. She wrote me later saying her mum genuinely thought theyd been bought from a vintage shop, that she wouldnt believe theyd been stitched from a downloaded file. Really the kind of feedback that keeps me going.

Best on white, cream, or pale sage linen or cotton where the purple flowers and butterflies have a clean background. Avoid lavender or purple fabric because everything disappears into it. Use cutaway stabiliser on stretch fabrics and medium tearaway on woven linen. The wing vein sections have overlapping satin columns so keep tension consistent and dont rush the passes.
