Floral Wildflower Wreath Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Sketched this one out as an open crescent rather than a closed ring, so there is a lil breathing room at the top and the whole thing reads more like a garden meadow than a formal wreath. The main structure is dense dark green leaf work. Fern-style sprigs, thin grass blades, two spiral tendrils that curl outward at the top corners. 3 colours and nine sizes across the 5 available files, all running the same palette throughout.

Theres a large daisy sitting right at the centre of the bottom arc, petals spread in red with a yellow satin centre dot. Flanking it are smaller daisy heads in the same red-and-yellow, and climbing up both sides of the crescent you get tall tulip buds, tightly closed, running a deeper red with directional satin that follows the petal curve. The green work carries the most stitches by far, 21,646 out of 25,809 in the 6-inch version, so dark leafy green dominates the colour chart by a wide margin.

At 498 density and up to 43,063 stitches in the larger runs, I built this for mid-weight woven fabrics. Linen, quilting cotton, canvas tote material. Use cutaway stabiliser and hoop firmly. Add a water-soluble topping on textured weave so those fine grass-blade stems dont float. Drop your bobbin tension a notch if youre running on heavier canvas. Run a scrap test before going to your final piece on linen since natural slub can shift registration slightly.

Last spring a customer grabbed the 8-inch version to make a centrepiece for a framed hoop art piece, filled a 10-inch hoop with room around the edges and the result looked like it came from a proper botanical print shop. Another customer wanted help spacing it across a quilt block layout, and I walked her through placement. Drop me a note if youre doing something similar and want a second opinion on sizing.
