Wild Garden Blooms Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Two purple-blue asters up top on long brown branching stems, and below them a large cream white daisy, open and flat, with thin radiating petals and a dark red button centre. The stems have that irregular branching quality like an actual plant rather than a graphic vector, some side shoots, a small secondary bud tucked in at the mid-stem. The daisy petals are long and thin and slightly uneven which is exactly right for a wildflower look.

Six colours, 5 stops. The blue asters are the most work, theres a layered fill on the petals going from a lighter periwinkle outer edge toward a deeper slate at the base of each petal, which is the directional stitching embroidery software does well and which you cant replicate with a print. The daisy cream petals have a similar structure, each one fills from the centre outward. Density sits at 909 which is in the medium-high range, so on the top 7-in size at 30,208 stitches this needs proper stabiliser.

So Im biased but this one is genuinely my favourite floral in the whole catalogue. Earlier this year I had a customer who does slow-fashion alterations put the 4-inch chest on a linen blazer breast pocket, the kind of thing where people just assumed it came that way from the factory. She sold 3 blazers in a week because of that detail. Skip the normal suspects like standard canvas bags and try it on a garment pocket instead.

Best on cream, ecru, or warm white cotton or linen where the colour palette feels like it belongs. Avoid cool white fabric because the cream petals on the daisy look yellow-ish. Use cutaway stabiliser on the largest sizes since 30k stitches on a loosely woven fabric will pull without proper backing. The petal fill sections have alot of directional passes so dont rush and let the hooped fabric settle between colour stops.
