I started this design after someone asked me for a design that mixed her two favorite motifs, butterflies and her wildflower garden. She wanted it for a memorial cushion for her late mum, so I really took my time, the wing botanicals went through five revisions before they felt right. The final layout pulls tiny line-drawn flowers and curling leaves directly into the wing shape, no solid wing fill.
Pack runs 9 sizes from 3.27 to 7.02 inches wide. Stitch counts run 29,112 up to 60,363 on the biggest hoop. Only four colours, a soft sage, dusty rose, slate grey for the body and outline, and a warm cream for the background wing tone. Density runs 1146 spi to support the fine botanical line work without it breaking up on textured cotton. The wing veins act as the structural frame. Stitching is fast off a good hoop. Thats where Id hoop a notch tighter. Heres where I usually drop density just a tick. Im quick when buyers flag a snag. Its quick once youve hooped right.
Heavy cutaway. Pull a firm hoop. Pop a sharp embroidery 75 sharp in. Run the cream wing base first, then sage leaves and vines, dusty rose flowers, and the slate grey shape and outline last as the topstitch pass. Skip topping unless the fabric is brushed cotton or fleece.
This works really nicely on cotton sweatshirts, linen cushions, and quilt blocks for valentines day and mothers day gifts. One customer ordered it for a baby blanket centre and stitched it with bamboo thread for softness against skin, rich soft hand on it. The minimal palette gives you lots of room to swap colours for seasonal variations like autumn rust and gold.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Cushion cover centreMemorial cushion for the customer who started the design, her late mums wildflower garden lives on in the wing botanicals at the small size.
- Sweatshirt centre printCotton sweatshirt centred for a friend who lost a parent recently, the muted palette reads as gentle rather than loud or celebratory.
- Quilt block centrepieceQuilt-block centre patch framed with sage-and-rose patchwork borders; my customer paired it into a memorial bedspread for her sister.
- Wall hanging linen panelReads as botanical-engraving rather than craft-pattern, which a botanical-garden gift-shop manager flagged when she ordered eight tote fronts.
- Tote bag canvas frontHeavy canvas tote-bag front for a botanic-garden vendor table, the symmetrical wings catch the eye across a busy market aisle.
- Baby blanket cornerBaby-blanket corner with bamboo thread for softness against skin, a new-mum customer asked for this exact setup for her gift hampers.
- Apron bib panelLinen apron bib panel centred above the lower seam; the slate-grey body grounds the design even on patterned apron fabric.

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.
