Sunflower Butterfly Wreath Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Its a thin circle with a sunflower growing up through it. The stem comes up along the right side from the base of the circle, the flower head sits at the top right, petals open in a ring around a small solid centre, and leafy sprigs branch off the stem on the way up. Three small butterflies sit at different points along the left arc of the circle and one more nestles just beside the sunflower. Thats the whole thing. Im not gonna oversell it.

Everything is in outline, no fill except the sunflower centre which gets a small solid disc of satin. The circle itself is a fine run-stitch ring, so light it almost disappears in photos but reads clearly once its stitched. The butterfly wings have vein detailing inside the outline which gives them enough structure to read at small sizes. At three inches the whole design is compact and precise. At eight inches the individual leaf shapes open up and the botanical illustration quality in the linework really shows.

A regular customer who sells hoop art at farmers markets bought this last spring the day I listed it. She told me she needed something that works as a base frame for monogram letters she adds inside the circle. Thats genuinely what the open centre is ideal for and I hadnt even thought of it when I put it up. She sells them as personalised pieces and says its been one of her steadier sellers.

Stitch count is genuinely low, under 8k even on the largest size, so machine time is fast. Use light tear-away on cotton. Add a topping sheet on linen or textured fabrics so the fine linework sits up clean. Hoop carefully because the thin circle ring will show any tension wobble. Pop it on cream or white and let the lines breathe. Skip dark fabrics unless you swap to a contrasting thread colour.
