Three Poppy Flowers Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Trio of red poppies leaning out from a single stem, ya gonna love how loose this one feels. Three big coral pink heads sit at the top, all blown open with magenta and dark red centres showing through. The petals have those crinkled paper edges poppies actually do, real feathery, and the linework is fine ink scribbling rather than thick black outlines. Down below theres olive green stems curving out in different directions with a bunch of little leaves and two unopened buds tucked in.

I kept the colour palette honest to real poppies, the coral fades into deeper red right at the base of each petal where the seed pod sits. Stems lean a bit, like they been bending in the wind, which gives the whole thing movement. Couple of slim leaves stretch out wide and theyre a slightly lighter green than the stems, so the eye reads depth even though its a flat embroidery design.

I drew this one last spring for a customer wanting wedding favour bags, she ordered nine sets in 6 inch and stitched em on linen pouches with the bride's initials underneath. Worked beautiful. The 5-inch run sits sweet on a cotton tea towel for the kitchen, or the biggest 7.01 inch on a linen cushion cover for the bedroom. Skip thick fleece because the fine stems lose detail under the pile.

This is a low-density design, only about 25k stitches at the largest, so it stitches up fast and works great on lighter fabric. Pair it with ivory poplin, oatmeal cotton or pale sage chambray for the most natural cottage-garden feel. Use a soft cutaway stabiliser, the leaves have lots of small directional satin runs and the stems need a tearaway underneath for the curves to hold their shape. Ping me through the shop if anything misreads on ya fabric and ill rework it.
