{"product_id":"california-poppy-flower-bouquet","title":"California Poppy Flower Bouquet Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeres the california poppy bouquet and frankly its the most colourful floral piece in my botanical garden range. One big coral poppy sits open at the centre with bright yellow buttery petals to its left. Two orange poppies flank the right and a soft pink one tucks behind. Several closed seed pods on stems poke up between the blooms. Deep green feathery foliage spreads out underneath like a wild meadow base. Whole bouquet has the look of an old west coast field guide watercolour and its honestly the kinda piece that catches the eye from across a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePetal work is the showstopping bit. Each open poppy uses a directional satin fill that sweeps from a darker outer edge inward to a creamy lighter heart. Its proper papery, like real poppy petals. Yellow bloom carries mustard inside with deeper amber rim, kinda glowing. Coral and orange poppies layer rust accents at their bases. Seed pods are slim olive teardrops with tiny notched lids. 9 colours but the layered fill makes it read like 14.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI made this last june for a friend who runs a paint studio in santa cruz, she put the 7-inch version on a row of 12 painters aprons and one customer ordered the file the next morning after seeing it on a wall hoop. People keep buying it for mothers day, june birthdays, garden brunch table linens, the lot. A customer in oregon stitched four for her mums 70th birthday party last spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on a tight smooth weave so the watercolour fade reads crisp. Pick a flat woven cotton or breathable linen in soft mustard, butter cream or pale wheat, the orange and yellow really sing on those tones. Skip orange or rust fabric because the poppies merge into the background and the centre poppy fades. Steer well clear of looped towel cloth, those raised loops eat the fine foliage stitches. Charcoal works gorgeous if youre after a moody field-guide vibe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 sizes from 3.5 inches up to 7.49 wide. Stitch count climbs from 20.4k to 51.5k so the biggest version wants a heavy cutaway stabiliser and a slow speed for the satin column petal fades. Tearaway on canvas. Hoop tight, watch the colour change order because each poppy stitches in three thread swaps. Ping me via chat if a thread reads weak on the densest run.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45757996040342,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CaliforniaPoppyFlowerBouquetMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1761214412","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/california-poppy-flower-bouquet","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
