Lavender Flowers with Bees Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Three lavender spikes at different heights, the tallest one sitting in the back and the two shorter ones in front on each side. Each spike is a dense column of small bright purple satin shapes packed tight like real lavender florets. The green stems are clean and straight with a few long pointed leaves branching off near the base, it reads as a botanical print, not a cartoon flower.

Two bumblebees hover in the space around the stems: one sits mid-composition between the upper spikes, the other comes in from the lower right at an angle. Each bee has a yellow-and-black striped abdomen built from alternating satin bands, thin black legs, and pale wing fills that let the background fabric show through just enough to suggest translucency. Six colours total and the bees account for three of them: yellow, black and wing grey. Purple, green and a stem-line dark brown finish it off.

Nine sizes from 2.04 by 3.51 inches up to 4.36 by 7.51. At the big end its nineteen and a half thousand stitches, at the small end about nine and a half. Density sits at 596 stitches per square inch, firm enough that the flower heads hold shape without going stiff. Stick to medium cutaway on woven goods. Float a water-soluble topping on loose linen weave so the purple floret edges dont sink into the grain. Hoop firmly and dont rush the bee abdomen sections, the alternating bands need clean colour stops.

Cream, white and pale sage backgrounds are the natural fit. Provencal yellow also works suprisingly well, the purple and yellow read as complementary colours, not as clashing. Skip anything already purple. One customer ordered it this past spring for a set of linen tea towels she was selling at a local market and sold out in the first hour. this is one of the that finds its people fast.
