Bring soft botanical detail to your sewing with this realistic bouquet of lilies and forget-me-knot style blossoms. The design centres on large pink flowers, dotted with smaller blue blooms, and finished with green leaves, buds and dark outlines that give the petals clear definition. It suits anyone who likes florals that feel painterly rather than sugary, with enough contrast in the cream, pink, blue and maroon tones to stand out beautifully.
This is the kind of design that looks especially good on a linen cushion, the back of a denim jacket, a canvas tote or the front of a plain sweatshirt. With nine thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched finish, it has a full, polished look that works best on stable fabrics or items with a bit of body. The realistic shading in the petals and leaves gives a lovely depth once stitched, so even simple, everyday pieces feel more considered.
