Thankful & Blessed Wreath Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Drew up the Thankful and Blessed wreath, classic farmhouse thanksgiving vibe. The word Thankful arches across the top in deep cherry red, Blessed curves along the bottom mirroring it, and a big swirly green ampersand sits dead centre between em. Two green leaf laurel branches sweep up the left and right sides like a frame, with about 7 leaf pairs each branch tapering toward the top.

Lettering uses a vintage serif with proper thick and thin contrast, stitched as solid satin columns in cherry red so it reads bold even on the smaller sizes. The ampersand has a flourished tail and the central loop sits open with a satin outline rather than a full fill, gives it that hand-carved sign feel. Laurel leaves run on a directional fill so each leaf catches light slightly different from the next, and the stems are slim tatami strips in the same green. Two colours total which keeps the colour change count down to just 1 per stitchout.

I drew this one specifically with thanksgiving table goods and autumn home decor in mind. The 3.28 by 3.51 inch version sits at the small end and the 7 by 7.51 runs the upper limit, so it sizes up to a centred pillow front or napkin corner without losing the lettering. One customer ordered the 5-inch last november for a set of 8 cream linen napkins she stitched for her mums thanksgiving table. She mailed em out to her sisters as keepsake gifts after the meal and theyre planning to use the same set every year now.

For best results pick a smooth medium-weight cotton, cream linen, oatmeal canvas or warm tan twill. Sage green, dusty pink and butter yellow backgrounds let the cherry red sing without clashing. Skip plaid or busy autumn prints, the wreath needs negative space around it for the laurels to breathe properly. Avoid stretchy jersey, the long satin runs in the lettering will pull crooked on knit fabric.

Density is light at 340 SPI with only 17k stitches on the largest size so its quick on the machine for a multi-piece project. Run a no-show mesh stabiliser, hoop firmly, and lay down a basting box first if youre stitching on slippy linen. Drop a quick line if the wreath leaves shift or the ampersand outline breaks and Ill rework the punch fast for ya, no fuss.
