Butterfly on Lavender Flowers Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Two lavender flower stems run up the centre and the butterfly is perched right where they cross. Wings spread wide, resting open, kinda mid-pause like its just landed. The lavender florets stack up the stem in those tiny clustered heads and the sage leaves fan out around the base. Whole piece reads like a soft botanical print.

Butterfly wings carry the painterly bit. Pale lilac on the upper wings, cream towards the inner edge, with darker purple veins running through. Body is a slim charcoal stripe down the middle with two thin antennae curling out. Lemme tell ya, the soft fade is what makes this design land. The colour shift gets seriously subtle on the 7.5 inch hoop and its kinda magic when it comes off the machine.

Seven colours in total. Two lavenders for the flowers, sage and a darker green on the stems and leaves, lilac and cream across the wings, plus one charcoal for the butterfly body and outlines. Stitch count runs 14k on a 3.5 chest size and 31k on the biggest 7.5 inch version. I been digitising lavender pieces for years. Last spring my mum asked for one on her gardening apron and this is the version that worked.

Stitch on white, cream, oatmeal or soft sage fabric. Pop it on a linen tea towel for spring kitchen sets. Best on a cotton apron for garden gifts. Try the small hoop on a market tote or napkin corner aswell. Skip dark fabrics, the cream washes out fast on charcoal or black and youll lose the lilac veining.

Density runs gentle at 569 spi which is friendly for woven cotton and linen. Use a tear-away stabiliser behind woven, switch to medium cutaway if youre customising on cotton jersey. Underlay holds the wing gradient nicely so dont skip it. Reach me through the contact form if any stitch path doubles back.
