Sunflower Quote Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The sunflower takes up the left half, cut clean at the centre so you get half the disc and half the petal ring. The petals are that proper deep golden yellow with linear satin stitching running down each one from tip to base. The centre disc is warm brown with a crosshatch texture fill. To the right of that vertical cut, the quote stacks down the space in two styles, the first four lines in solid block uppercase, then the words be a sunflower in a looser flowing script below. Black thread throughout for all the text.

3 colours only, yellow, brown and black, 2 colour changes. At the largest 7.48-inch size this goes up to 59,933 stitches because of the dense satin work on the petals and the block letter fills. Smallest size at 3.49 inches comes in at 23,834 stitches. Nine sizes total. The petal stitching uses directional satin columns running lengthwise down each petal which gives them a proper sunflower texture rather than just flat yellow fills.

People have been buying this one for kitchen wall hoops, tote bags, birthday gifts and wedding favours on cream linen. Last october a customer ordered it for 15 cotton bags to use as bridesmaid gifts at a sunflower-themed wedding. Ive also had teachers order it in bulk for end-of-year classroom gifts, so its a flexible design that fits alot of occasions.

Stitch on cream or beige oatmeal fabric and the yellow really glows. Natural linen gives it a warmth that white cotton doesnt. Avoid dark fabrics since the black text disappears on navy or charcoal. Use a cutaway stabiliser given the petal density. Hoop evenly to keep the straight vertical cut line clean between the flower and text sections.
