Worked up this sunflower as a standalone face-on bloom, no stem or leaf, just the full flower head filling the hoop. The petals come in 3 colour tiers, a pale buttery yellow on the outer ring, an amber-orange layer underneath, and a darker orange accent running through some petals to give them depth. The centre is done in a near-black brown with a Dark Red seed cluster on top, and the whole thing reads as realy rich and saturated even before you put it on fabric.

my professional tool took the petal sequencing and density sits at 954, which is on the heavier end so this one wants a good cutaway stabiliser underneath. The largest size hits 53,018 stitches at 7.51 inches wide, so youre looking at a long run time on dense fabrics. Hoop the stabiliser alone first, float the fabric on top if its knit, and run a tack-down pass before starting. That keeps everything from shifting during the outer petal rows.

5 colour stops, 4 changes, and the directional satin on each petal runs from centre outward so theyre not all going the same way. That small thing makes alot of difference on a finished piece, the light catches each petal individually instead of the whole flower looking flat. Last autumn I had a bunch of customers ordering this one for harvest-themed gift sets, the amber and dark red colours line up well with that season without needing any thread swaps. One customer asked me about it for a linen table runner and I told her to use the mid 4.5 build spaced across the length rather than one big bloom in the centre.

Pick the largest 7.51-inch version for a denim jacket back, stitch the mid-size on a canvas tote front, or run the small lil 3.51-inch on a kitchen towel for a seasonal set. Add a topping sheet on any looped or textured ground and you wont have issues with the petal detail sinking.
