Hello Summer Sunshine Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This one came together as a lil summer word piece with a lot going on but nothing fighting for attention. 'hello' sits in a thin looping script in cobalt blue, the kind of handwriting you'd see on a greeting card, above the bigger SUMMER lettering. Behind and to the right theres a sun shape with those classic pointed spike rays in golden orange, not filled solid but outlined with a satin border that gives it a retro cartoon feel.

SUMMER across the bottom is where the bulk of the stitches live. Its done in a wide brushstroke font, orange thread, each letter slightly different in its angle like someone wrote it freehand. Then ya get a purple teardrop leaf shape at the lower left corner that I honestly wasnt sure about when I first sketched it in, but it balances the whole composition without adding visual weight. 3 colour changes, 16 trims, so its a pretty smooth run for 4 colours.

Sizes run from 2.79 inches wide all the way to 4.88 inches at the largest, and the stitch count goes from 6,820 up to 12,697. Its not a dense fill design, density sits around 371, so you dont need heavy cutaway for this one. Medium tearaway or a linen-weight cutaway works fine. A customer wanted the 4-in size for a vacation pillow set she was making this past spring and said the satin on the sun rays came out realy clean on the coarser weave.

Pick a medium-weight tearaway when youre working on pre-washed linen and youll get a clean back with no stiff residue. Use the 2.79-inch size for a dress pocket or shirt chest placement, or stitch the big 4.88-inch version across a tote front and let it do the talking. Avoid very dark fabrics with this one because the cobalt blue can get lost against navy. The orange and blue colour pairing photographs well in natural light aswell, great if youre selling items at a market this summer.
