Intro
Create a lively garden edge filled with blooming wildflowers and fluttering butterflies in soft spring colors. Directional fills, satin petals, layered leaves, and a continuous stitched baseline give this wide border design a polished botanical finish.
Designer’s Note
A horizontal meadow of pink, lavender, blush, and pale blue flowers rises from a green stitched ground line while four butterflies hover above the blossoms. The embroidery uses satin petals, directional fill stitches, crisp leaf edges, and ten sequenced stops to separate the stems, foliage, flowers, butterfly wings, and brown body details. Deep and muted greens combine with coral pink, lilac, blush, pale blue, and warm brown to create a cheerful spring garden mood.
