Purple Bellflower Bouquet Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres the purple bellflower bouquet and honestly its one of my favourites in the floral catalog. Seven open bell-shaped blooms hang on slender stems with three closed buds tucked between them. Petals droop gently the way real bellflowers do in a wild meadow. Stems fan out from a single base. Whole thing has that just-picked-from-the-garden look without being too tidy or styled.

Petal work is the showstopping bit. Each bloom uses a directional satin fill that runs from deep purple at the petal tip up to pale lilac at the throat. Looks proper watercoloured. Stems sit in slim sage tatami with delicate green outlines, buds carry tiny green sepal caps. 5 colours total but the layered fill makes it read like 8.

I made this one for my grandma last spring, she grows bellflowers along her garden fence every year. Stitched it on a cream linen pillow for her birthday and she actualy cried a lil bit. Now I get messages from people every march asking for a mothers day floral that isnt the usual rose. People been buying it for grandma gifts and bridal shower table runners aswell.

Stitch on a tight smooth weave for the watercoloured petals to really sing. Match this with soft butter yellow, oat linen, dusty cream cotton or pale sage for the prettiest read, the violet glows on those tones. Skip dark navy or charcoal because the lilac highlights vanish. Pass on looped pile too, the loops chew up fine stem outlines and the bouquet base looks chaotic. Its messy. Pair with a script monogram or family last name in matching sage thread for a custom touch.

9 sizes, 3.32 inches wide minimum and 7.11 max. Stitch count climbs from 13.6k to 38.9k so its smart to plan a midweight cutaway under linen and tearaway on woven canvas. Slow your speed on the directional petal fills or the colour transitions go blotchy and the watercolor fade peaks. Hit the help portal if any size renders blurry on knit.
