{"product_id":"patriotic-usa-flower-wreath","title":"Patriotic USA Flower Wreath Embroidery Design, 4th of July Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis patriotic wreath took me a while to work out because the concept sounds simple but the execution is actually quite involved. Its a circular floral arrangement, sunflowers and daisies around the ring, but every single petal carries a flag element. The petals on the upper-left portion fill with deep navy blue dotted with tiny star shapes, and the rest of the petals alternate red and white stripes. The centre disc of each flower mimics the canton pattern, with the blue field on one side and red stripe bands across the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou end up with something that is both a proper floral wreath and a genuine flag tribute. Neither half overwhelms the other which I think is what makes it work. Stitch counts run from just under 29,000 at the 4 inch size up to over 62,000 at 7 inches, so this is a heavier piece and your machine'll be running for a while. It needs 4 thread colours: navy, red, white, and black for outlines. I get messages every June from people who've stitched this on denim jackets and say the satin petals look almost three dimensional from across a room, which honestly is what sold me on the dense fill approach. Its one of those designs that doesnt look like much on screen but really rewards the effort when its stitched out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch it on denim, canvas, or thick cotton. Skip lightweight shirt fabric at the bigger sizes because the satin density will cause puckering. Heavy cotton tees work fine at the 4 inch size. Use a cutaway stabiliser for any stretch fabric. For woven canvas bags or denim, tearaway is the better call. Pop it on the back of a jacket or centre it on a tote and the patriotic theme reads clearly without needing anything else around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople stitch this for Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and military homecoming gifts too, so its not just a one-week design. Holler if you have any trouble with the download and Ill sort it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46222224457878,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/PatrioticUSAFlowerWreathEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1770031373","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/patriotic-usa-flower-wreath","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
