Minimalist Floral Hands Outline Embroidery Design, Botanical Hand Embroidery, Instant Download

Two hands cupped loosely around a pair of wildflower stems, the stems crossing between the fingers, thorns and all. The flowers sit above the hands, one smaller daisy-type with narrow petals, one larger open bloom with wide rounded petals that splay out in that classic wildflower way. Both flower centres catch the light in warm orange against the teal outline, thats the only pop of colour in the piece and it works really well.

Everything else is teal. The hands, the stems, the petals, all of it is outline stitching in the same teal thread so the design reads as a single coherent drawing rather than a collage of parts. Theres finger detail at the knuckles and a few small dot accents that give it that hand-drawn botanical illustration feel. No background fill, no solid blocks, just lines.

Three colour stops in total, teal for the main outline, orange for the flower centres, white for the centre highlight dot. The colour change count is low so it wont slow you down at the machine. Sizes run from 4 inches up to 8 inches across five options, stitch count goes from 11,198 to 22,257 which is a solid medium-complexity range for what you see.

Earlier this year a customer stitched the 6-inch version on a set of linen dinner napkins for a friends wedding and forwarded me a shot of them laid out on the tables. They looked genuinely expensive, the kind of thing guests actually notice and ask about. Teal on cream linen is the combination Im thinking of when I say this design punches above its price.

Stitch on white, natural linen or soft cream fabric where the teal reads clearly. Use a firm stabiliser sheet behind loosely woven linen so the outline running stitches dont sink into the weave. Pop a water-soluble topping over textured fabric to keep the fine knuckle details from disappearing. Hoop snug and the line work comes out sharp.

Dm me if anything needs adjusting after your test stitch and Ill turn a fix around fast.
