Mushroom Garden Embroidery Design V2, Instant Download

Three toadstools all different sizes, the tallest one in the centre has this long pointy cap that curls at the tip like a witchs hat, not like a normal mushroom at all. The cap is bright red with oval white spots and a cream-coloured gilled underside. Next to it a shorter rounded cap mushroom and a tiny baby one on the right. At the base theres green grass tufts, small wildflowers in pink, yellow and blue, and little black leaf sprigs that give the whole thing a storybook-illustration feel.

Twelve colour changes, but they run in logical groups: all the red caps together, then white spots, then the tan stems, then grass and flowers. Wilcom sequenced these sensibly so ya dont have to reload the same colour twice. The satin work on the mushroom caps is done with a slight directional tilt following the cap curve, so the cap surface looks rounded rather than flat. White spots are underlay-filled before the top satin, which keeps their edge definition clean. At 33,894 stitches on 7-in jumbo.51-inch size thats a proper full piece.

Ive stitched this one on everything from canvas tote bags to cushion covers to a kids bedroom wall hoop, and it works on all of them. Cottagecore stuff sells alot right now and the mushroom-garden combo is pretty much the signature of that aesthetic. My niece asked me to put it on her college dorm room cushion last year and I added her name in script below the grass line. Looked proper sweet.

Pop midweight cutaway under on cotton and canvas. Pop a lighter tearaway under stiff linen if the weave is tight. Slow the machine just abit for the red cap fills, those are the densest sections in the file. Avoid dark green fabric because the grass fill disappears and ya lose the layered garden base effect. Run on natural cotton and all twelve colours sing properly. Skip busy or patterned fabric here, the detail in the toadstool caps needs a plain ground to show up.
