Colorful Abstract Flower Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This colorful abstract flower design isnt neat or tidy. Hot pink, magenta, yellow, coral, teal, navy petals look like they were flung from a paintbrush, each one a different shape, some rounded, some pointed, a few with these little ink-splatter dots scattered around the edges like the design is mid-explosion. Nine colours total. The botanical stem is slim and tall with sharp angular leaves that lean in like theyre reaching up toward the floral bloom.

Theres a teal green stamen cluster dead in the middle, tiny satin stitches radiating out. The whole composition sits upright and fills the hoop cleanly at the bigger sizes. Available in 9 sizes, smallest is 3.5 inches and the widest runs to 7.5 inches, with 6,083 stitches at the bottom and 14,809 at the top. Really managable density for something with 9 colour changes, which is kind of suprising given how much is going on visually.

I made this one for a customer whos been digitising stock for an art gallery gift shop. She needed something for canvas tote bags that could hold its own alongside actual artworks. Last summer she emailed me back saying it sold out its first run at their pop-up event. Thats the kind of feedback that keeps me going.

Run it on a pale or neutral fabric and the colours are going to sing. Stitch it on a heavyweight cotton tote, an ivory linen cushion cover, or a plain white tee. Avoid black fabric here, the dark petals vanish against it. Use a tearaway backing on woven fabric, hoop snug, the scattered splatter dots need the fabric held firm.

Use a clean satin thread, polyester works better than rayon here because the colours stay saturated after washing. Ease back the machine speed for the small dot clusters around the bloom edge. Nine colour changes sounds like alot but professional embroidery software sequenced em cleanly so youre not swapping thread every 30 seconds. Reach me on chat if youd like the stitched-out photo on natural canvas and ill send it over.
