Its the word MAMA set in these big wide serif letters, cream-white satin fill with a faint shadow on the serifs, and then flowers just absolutely everywhere. Blue daisies with yellow centres, coral roses, a big blush pink gerbera, cream roses with tight spiral centres, a lil tulip poking up on the right, small pink wildflowers. And all of that sitting against a bunch of deep green directional-fill leaves with amber buds tucked in. Those bloom areas run around 1,410 stitches per square centimetre, which is why the flowers come out with actual texture and depth once stitched.

A mum I know ordered this last week for a linen tote she was putting together as a teachers gift, and dropped a comment on the listing with a photo of the finished piece. Proper lush. The tatami fill on the letters and the satin petals do play nice together as long as your stabiliser game is solid. Use a cutaway on anything with stretch, like a jersey or a fleece panel, because the letter bases are wide and they need that anchor. Hoop tight and dont skimp on topping if youre doing a terry towel, the loops will eat the detail otherwise.

Stitch the smaller sizes, like the 3.5 inch, on pocket corners or card inserts. The 5 inch sits real nice centred on a canvas apron bib. Centre the biggest size on a plain linen cushion cover and it honestly looks like something from a boutique. Pair it with a cutaway backing on denim and the underlay will keep the letters crisp even after a few washes. Pick the colour sequence carefully at the machine because with that many blooms you get a bunch of colour stops and skipping any will mess up the layering.

Message me a photo if the placement feels off centre.
