Wildflower Border Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres the wildflower border. Six different blooms strung along a horizontal twist of green stems and pointed leaves, the whole thing reading like a hedgerow in late may. The cream daisy sits dead centre with its yellow eye, a big violet aster anchors the right, and a smaller purple aster sits balanced on the left. A tomato red tulip leans in from the lower middle and yellow buttercups burst up from the right. A cornflower blue bell flower arches up top.

Yellow tulip buds bookend the left side, a cluster of three rising on a single green stem, the petals just barely opened. The twining green base ties it all together, leaves splayed out in a wide horizontal sweep so the design reads borderlike not bouquet-like. Twelve colours total, mostly green doing structural work with petal colour spread across the blooms in tight saturated satin fills.

One customer ordered the 4.42-inch width version last summer for a baptism keepsake hoop. She wanted bold colour against a black linen ground and this design pops on dark cloth like nothing else, the fills stay vivid and the green leaves glow. During easter prep one quilter wrote me asking if the border ran clean across pre quilted cotton.

Stitch this on dark cotton, navy denim, black linen or charcoal canvas to let the saturated fills sing, light fabric works too but the colour reads less punchy. Pop the 4-inch width on a child apron pocket and stack the 7.5-inch height on the side of a black tote bag for a striking column piece. Skip patterned ground here, the design carries enough visual weight on its own.

Density gets serious on the largest piece. 29504 stitches at the 7.5-inch and 13667 at the 3 micro, run a medium cutaway stabiliser, hoop tight, slow ya speed for the satin column edges around the petals. Email me at the listed address if anything wobbles and ill regenerate the design.
