Elegant Flower Book Frame Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Its an open book sitting flat with two little bursts of flowers, one tucking in at the bottom left spine corner and one sitting up at the top right where the pages fan out. The pages themselves are just parallel satin lines, no fill inside, so the whole thing reads as an outline frame rather than a solid book. Really clean. The flowers are anemone-type blooms with rounded petals and stamens in the middle, leaves and small bud sprigs filling the gaps around them.

Everything stitches in a single dark green thread which I think is actually the smart call here. Alot of book designs try to do 3 or 4 colours and end up looking fussy. This one keeps it to 1 colour and lets the linework do the work instead. The satin columns on the page edges are tight and directional, so they catch light differently depending on fabric pile. Hoop it on cream linen and the thread almost glows against the weave.

I sell this one alot to a specific kind of buyer, the literary boutique type who makes market tote bags and aprons for bookshop events. One customer last autumn ordered it for a whole run of canvas totes for an independent bookshop opening and she sent me photos where ya could see every petal sitting crisp on the natural canvas. And the smallest 5-inch size on a tee pocket is just right, not too big, not too small.

Six sizes total, 3.66 inches up to 7.31 inches wide. Stitch count goes from 14,587 at the small end up to 29,495 at the largest. Use a tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton, linen or canvas, and switch to cutaway if youre stitching on anything with stretch. The topping isnt necessary on a smooth flat-weave but if your canvas has alot of texture, a light water-soluble topping keeps the linework clean. And the bobbin tension matters more than usual on satin columns this fine, so check your underside before you run the full piece.
