Three open flowers bunched together, all outline and no fill. Thats the whole idea here. Each bloom has five rounded petals radiating from a small circular centre, and the petals sit overlapping each other so the cluster reads as one connected piece rather than seperate flowers dropped side by side.

Vine tendrils curl out from between the stems, which is what stops this from feeling flat and symmetrical. The leaves have faint crosshatch shading lines inside them. Its the kind of detail that disappears at small sizes but shows up really nicely on the bigger hoopings and gives the piece some texture without adding a second colour. And the whole composition leans on a diagonal, which actually helps it sit more naturally on a curved surface like a sleeve or a bag strap.

Single black thread does everything here. One colour change, start to finish. I did a test run last spring on natural linen and the contrast was just right. Works the same on pale grey, white cotton, soft cream. A customer who does personalised tote orders told me this one layers well with a monogram underneath because the open outline lets the fabric background show through without fighting anything.

Backing matters more than people think with outline-only work. Run a firm woven stabiliser behind woven fabric and hoop with no slack. The vine tendrils are the first thing to distort if theres any give in the hoop, so pull it tighter than you think you need to. Skip stretchy jersey for this one, the outline lines wont track cleanly on fabric with any stretch to it.

Stitch count runs 13k on from a chest 3.5 to around 21k on the largest, so its a quick stitch even on bigger hoopings. Four sizes from just under 5 inches up to 8 inches tall. Holler if you need something outside those ranges and I can check what I can do.
