Hope Love Faith Shamrock Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Three-leaf shamrock in white or cream thread, no fill, just the outline running clean around each leaf, and the words Hope, Love, Faith sit one across each leaf from left to right. Its a quiet piece, its honest, its not trying to do too much. The whole design reads in one colour and that restraint is genuinely the point. I been making single-colour pieces like this for a while and they sell year-round, not just in march.

One colour in the file, thats it. The outline is a running stitch with a narrow satin border at the leaf edges. The script lettering is tight enough to hold at 3.5 inches without the letters merging and clear enough that you can read all three words from a few feet away. Stitches go from about 7k up to 16k on the 7.5-inch version, its light, it stitches fast. Density sits at 299 and the underlay from Wilcom keeps the outline flat without pulling the fabric.

Single-colour design means you can match it to anything. White thread on navy linen, green on cream cotton, gold on dark olive. I had a customer last winter who ordered the 5-inch version for a set of baptism gift hoops, she stitched them in ivory thread on blush linen and they were stunning. She sent message asking could I make matching ones for christmas, its that kind of design. Use it for st. patricks day pieces, it works. Use it for a faith gift, it works aswell.

Stitch on woven cotton or linen for cleanest results. Use a tearaway stabiliser and a 75/11 sharp needle. Hoop tight because the outline will wander on any loose weave. Avoid jersey unless you float the piece on topping first. Pick a thread weight that matches the look you want because the single-colour format means the thread choice carries everything. A 40wt poly thread on woven cotton gives you a clean flat result with no sheen issues.
