Life Is Better by the Campfire Embroidery Design, Camping Quote, Instant Download

Three lines of text stacked in a loose triangle shape, and a campfire sitting right in the centre holding it all together. The top line bows upward in chunky teal block letters, uppercase, bold and slightly arched. Then the two middle words sit either side of the flame in smaller orange caps, with little leaf or arrow marks fanning out like they're radiating heat. Below that, "Campfire" sweeps across in a wide teal script, the kind with the long looping f that takes a bit longer to stitch but looks so good on a finished piece.

My nephew stitched this last christmas onto a fleece camping blanket for his dad and its come out gorgeous every time Ive watched someone try it. The crossed brown logs underneath anchor the whole composition, two fat rounded cylinders sitting in an X, then the red flame floats up from between them reaching toward the text. Four colour changes, teal, orange, red and brown, only four stops, its a manageable session.

Back it with a cutaway stabiliser if youre going onto fleece, sherpa, or thick cotton. Tearaway works on lighter fabrics like quilting cotton or linen but I wouldnt skip the backing entirely, the script letters need something firm. Use a medium stabiliser and dont rush the colour changes. Try the 3 inch version first if youre new to the design, smaller hoop, less thread to manage.

Six sizes from 3 to 8 inches wide. Stitch count goes from 6,461 at the smallest up to 21,061 at the biggest. Pop the 3 or 4 inch on travel mugs and small pouches. Use the 6 or 7 inch on shirts and the 8 on tote bags or blankets.
