Stacked Books with Floral Arrangement Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Message me if youre after a stacked book design with a bit more botanical weight behind it, because its what I normally point people toward. Three books stacked with the spines angled toward you, and a proper floral arrangement across the top: 2 large open-faced poppies or anemones with dark solid round centres, a few smaller buds, and those dark elongated leaf sprays fanning out on both sides. The whole arrangement sits like it was placed there deliberately, not just scattered.

Five sizes, 2.49 inches wide at the smallest up to 6.48 inches at the largest. Stitch counts run from 4,977 to 13,914. Density lands at 330 so the fill areas are substantial, youre not gonna finish this one in 10 minutes. Single colour, no mid-run thread changes. Use a good quality cutaway stabiliser because the filled leaf sections combined with the satin-column book spines put real pull on the ground fabric. On denim or canvas this one holds perfectly. Cotton twill aswell.

A customer wrote me last month wanting the full 6.48 inch version on a linen wall panel for a home library feature wall. She said the dark leaf fills gave it a real print-like quality once framed, almost like a woodblock illustration. Thats the kind of result this design is capable of when youre on the right fabric ground and dont rush the hooping.

Use directional stitching awareness when hooping. The leaves have alternating stitch angles so youll get a light-and-shadow effect on the fill. Hoop the fabric drum-tight, not just snug. Skip stretchy fabrics unless you add cutaway backing plus a water-soluble topping layer. The satin flower centres are bobbin-sensitive so standard thread tension works fine.
