Personalized Oliver Floral Wreath Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

A cotton baby blanket or a linen nursery hoop is honestly where this one lives best. The wreath fans out in bright grass-green satin-stitched leaves with little round berries scattered in sky blue, golden yellow, and coral pink, and then that pink bow at the bottom pulls the whole thing together with its crosshatch tatami fill and satin outline edges. Its the kind of thing that photographs really well in a cot photo, which is partly why Ive had a bunch of mums ordering it for newborn gifts.

Centre of the wreath is where the name "Oliver" sits, stitched in a flowing sky-blue column-fill script. The letterforms have nice directional satin on the curves so the thread catches light at different angles. Density sits at 487 stitches per square centimetre across the design, which means youre not fighting thread build-up on terry or fleece, and the underlay on those leaves keeps everything flat and smooth. The 4 inch version drops onto a bib without crowding it, which my regulars use alot for gift sets. Last week I had a customer write me saying she stitched this for her sisters newborn and the whole family was suprised at how polished it looked straight off a home machine.

For fabric choices, white cotton twill and natural linen both work brilliantly. Use a cutaway stabiliser on knits and stretchy fabrics, and a tearaway on woven cotton or canvas totes. Hoop tight and make sure your centre mark lines up before you start, because the name script will show any shift immediately. Stitch the wreath leaves first, then berries, then the script, then the bow last so colours layer cleanly without jump stitch buildup underneath.

Try the 7.5 inch on a canvas tote or a linen tea towel for a proper gift, or pick the smaller sizes for iron-on patches and baby clothing tags. Skip heavy topping on linen since it shows needle holes. The colour count comes out to about five thread colours total, so colour changes are manageable even on a basic home machine with a smaller bobbin capacity.

Message me a photo if the border stitching looks thin.
