Daisy Flower Embroidery Design, Single Bloom Floral Pattern

Alot of my floral designs go heavy on coverage, this daisy doesnt. Light. Open. The petals are stitched with diagonal hatching instead of solid satin, so the fabric colour shows through and gives it that sketchy hand-drawn vibe which suits modern minimal embroidery really well, especially on natural linen and pale cotton.

The bloom sits three-quarter view, tilted toward you, with 14 long ivory white petals fanning out around the centre. Each petal has a thin charcoal outline and that diagonal hatched fill, looks pretty when side light catches it. Petals overlap a lil so the back row peeks out from behind the front row, gives real depth without crowding the design.

Centre of the daisy is the warmest part, a tightly fanned golden yellow disk with warm orange undertones radiating out from a tiny brown dot in the middle. Theres gradient stitching going round which mimics those tiny florets you see on a real daisy.

Last week one customer wrote me after stitching this on a cream linen napkin set for a spring brunch, she said the loose hatching let the fabric texture come through and it looked dead-on like a watercolour print. On denim it picks up that indigo shade through the petals, totally different finished look. Definately my lowest stitch count floral, only 2,755 to 8,090 stitches across 9 sizes, 4 colours.

Stitch on natural linen, denim, oatmeal cotton, sage canvas or muslin. Skip black, the airy fill needs a light backdrop to read as petals at all. Hoop it with a tearaway stabiliser, the design doesnt need heavy support and youll find it sews fast. Run rayon thread if youre after a soft sheen, polyester if its going to wash often. Pop the smallest 3-in chest size on chest pocket, the 7 inch size frames lovely inside a wood hoop.
