Bring botanical drama to your stitching with this elegant floral design, centred on a richly worked red bloom with a long stamen, two neat buds and serrated green leaves. The shaded reds and pinks, touched with yellow, brown and black, give it the look of a studied botanical illustration rather than a simple outline flower. It suits dressmakers, quilt makers and anyone sewing for a garden lover who wants a flower motif with more presence and detail.
This is a dense nine-colour design, so it has a full, substantial finish that stands out well on linen tote bags, cotton blouses, denim jackets, cushion covers and quilt blocks. The heavier stitching makes the petals and foliage read clearly from a distance, while the central stamen and pollen tips reward a closer look. It works especially well on stable woven fabrics where the layered colour and detailed leaves can sit crisply and show off the design’s elegant, botanical character.
