I started digitising this wildflower bouquet last february, a customer wanted matching designs for her daughters wedding linens. She sent me photos of the actual bouquets her florist was planning, daisies poppies lavender wheat, and asked me to translate the gathered look into thread. Took several revisions to balance the colour palette without it looking busy.
Eight colours total, eleven sizes. Widths run 2.63 to 5.63 inches. The smallest is 1107 stitches and the biggest at 5.63 inches wide runs around 22271 stitches, takes maybe 32 minutes on a domestic. Density is 527 which is fairly light, the flowers are mostly satin petals not fills. The lavender spike is a fine bead-cluster of small satin blocks. Wilcom handles the curve smoothing for me. Thats a layer you wont see till the run. Im usually running this through Wilcom for smoothing.
Use cutaway stabiliser for any knit fabric, the petal stitches will pucker on jersey without good support, regular cutaway works for most woven fabric. Add a water-soluble topping if youre stitching on terry or fleece, otherwise the daisy centres sink. Use an embroidery 75 point for the smaller sizes, 80/12 for the 5.63 inch size. The eight colour set means lots of thread changes, pre-wind bobbins for atleast the daisy cream colour because it gets used twice.
Works beautifully on linen table runners, wedding napkin corners, cotton pillowcases, mum gift totes, summer dress chest panels, baby christening linens. The vertical bouquet shape pairs well with monograms or initials placed alongside. Hand wash for the first few cycles to keep the lavender beads bright.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
