Purple Daisy Cluster Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Five purple daisies in a tight cluster greet you soft like a cottage garden in early summer. Four open daisies sit grouped together, three lavender heads up front and one lilac tucked behind, every petal stitched with directional shading so you can see the fine veining run from a deep purple eye out to the tip. The centres are deep plum with a small ring of moss green at the base, gives each bloom abit of weight against the lighter petals.

Stems are a proper sage green pulling down into long pointed leaves, the leaves splay out wide at the base and overlap each other like real foliage clumps do. Worked this design up over a wet weekend last june when my mum kept asking for something to embroider on her gardening apron, she wanted purples not pinks aswell. So I went heavy on the lavender and kept the green muted so it didnt fight with the bloom.

Stitch this on natural osnaburg, oatmeal linen or a soft cream canvas and the lavender petals really sing, the colours read warm without going pastel-sweet. Pop a smaller version on a tea towel corner or a kitchen apron pocket. Skip black or charcoal here, the dark plum centres get lost on dark fabric and the whole bouquet flattens out. But on chambray or pale grey it looks gorgeous, soft and painterly.

Densest spot is the four flower heads stacked together so back the hoop with a heavy cutaway stabiliser and dial the rpm low for the satin column on those plum eyes. my main digitising tool handled the shading transitions clean so dont skimp on stabilising or the leaf veins will pucker. Holler at me if the colour mapping reads off on ya thread chart and ill send a swap-list same day.
