Morning Glory Floral Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Morning glory is one of those flowers that looks too simple until you get it right and it becomes realy elegant. Two open trumpet blooms face forward, petals radiating out in pale periwinkle blue with white at the throat. Heart-shaped leaves cluster around them in forest and sage green, catching the light a bit different depending on angle. A couple of slim closed buds sit above the open flowers on thin stems like they havent decided to open yet.

Six colours and the palette is genuinely calm. The petals use satin fills with lighter and darker blue zones that add dimension without needing extra threads. Leaf stitching is directional with a central vein line and side fill stitches running at an angle from it, which is the standard botanical approach and it works well here. The stems are single-row running stitches. Total stitch count up to about 53k at the 7.5 run size which is solid for a botanical this detailed.

I get orders for this from people doing vintage-style home textiles, broderie anglaise fans who want something a bit more modern, and cottage garden lovers who wanna bring the garden inside. My mum spotted this on my workbench this spring and asked if Id stitch it on a set of linen napkins for her dining table. Its right at home on natural fabrics and it doesnt feel overworked.

Stitch it on white, cream or oatmeal linen or cotton for the most classical result. The pale blue petals need a light ground to read properly, dont put this on dark fabric or the periwinkle disappears. Use a medium tearaway stabiliser on woven linen or cotton. For canvas totes or thicker cloth, switch to cutaway. Slow your machine on the open petal satin sections, suprisingly dense at full size. Skip mesh fabric, the satin fills need a firm base to sit flat.
