Wildflower Bouquet Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres my full wildflower bouquet, the busiest floral design I sell and easily my best mothers day mover. The bouquet has a red poppy, a blue poppy and an orange poppy at the top, then a peach daisy with a green centre, a purple cosmos and a lilac aster filling the middle, dark violet seed pods on long stems, fern fronds and small purple berry clusters threading through. Stitch range runs 21k to 44k.

Eighteen thread colours total, painterly watercolour fill so each petal carries a soft gradient instead of flat colour blocks. The stitch lines show on purpose, mimicking loose brush strokes the way a cottagecore botanical print would. Density 772 makes this medium-heavy, doesnt take much over 35 minutes on a 5x7 hoop on a domestic machine. Theres heaps of colour changes so keep a swap chart handy.

Best fabric pairings are linen tea towel, midweight cotton tee, kraft canvas tote or a denim apron. Skip jersey or stretchy knit because the watercolour fills want a stable woven base to keep the gradients smooth. Lay a tearaway on the linen and cotton, you can pop a no-show mesh cutaway on the denim if its a thicker weight blank. Cream, ecru, sage and pale blush blanks all let the colours sing.

I get tonnes of messages around mothers day in march from etsy shops digitising florist gift packaging. One customer ordered the 7 inch on a run of 30 linen tea towels last spring for her mums 65th birthday brunch, every guest took one home. The bouquet reads as bunch-of-flowers from across the room which is dead handy for gift wrap and farmhouse kitchen merch.

Run the 7 inch across a kitchen apron front or wall hoop, pop the 4 inch on a chest pocket or napkin corner. Pair it with a stitched name or date in cursive underneath if youre making a wedding favour. The petal density does need a midweight blank, anything thinner and the colours will tug.
