{"product_id":"modern-botanical-love-heart","title":"Modern Botanical Love Heart Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eKnocked out this one as a play on the classic botanical heart. The hearts a bold chunky outline, done in thick satin with some loose cross-hatching inside the right lobe so it reads as textured rather than flat. Right where the two lobes of the heart meet, theres a large flower sitting dead-centre left, a sunflower style with a solid satin disk in the middle and long radiating petals fanning outward into the heart body. The petals are done in directional fills so each one catches the thread at a slightly different angle. Botanical sprigs then trail out from the base of the flower to the left, tiny budded stems, herb-type sprigs, rosehips and small leaves, all in delicate linework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe right half of the heart stays almost empty, just the outline and that light internal hatching, so your eye keeps going back to the flower side. Its an asymetric composition and thats what makes it interesting on fabric. Stitch count runs from 8,517 to 18,409 across five sizes. Smallest is 2.93 by 3.51 inches, largest is 6.26 by 7.51. Density 392 stitches per square inch digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer stitched this on a cream linen tote last spring and brought it to a farmers market, she said three people stopped to photograph it. I love hearing things like that. Light fabric backgrounds let the fine sprigs read properly. Cream linen, pale sage, warm white cotton are all strong choices. The botanical sprigs on the left side need a smooth base so they dont disappear into the weave, float a layer of water-soluble topping on loose linen. Hoop tight and run a medium cutaway underneath for anything thats going to get washed regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorks for Valentine's gifts but its not stuck to one season. Pick it for any project that calls for something botanical and not too obviously romantic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46063646539926,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ModernBotanicalLoveHeartEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1767412457","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/modern-botanical-love-heart","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
