Cross Stitch Wildflower Spray Border

About this design

This cross stitch wildflower spray border embroidery design is a long, symmetrical arrangement anchored by a central cluster of blue and golden yellow blossoms, with mirror-image sprays of pink, purple and magenta wildflowers fanning out to each side on beds of grass-green foliage. Worked entirely in x-shaped cross stitches, the design layers cobalt blue and warm yellow at the heart with rose pink, violet and lilac petals and small green leaves against an open cream background, giving it a lush cottage-garden, folk-embroidery feel. The elongated horizontal, mirror-image layout makes it perfect as a border or trim: run it along the edge of a pillowcase, hem or cuff, or use it centered as a single decorative accent. Try it on pillowcases and cushion covers, table runners, placemats, table toppers and napkins, guest and hand towels, tea towels, aprons, dresser scarves, curtain and valance hems, tote bags, quilt borders and framed hoop art. It also stitches up as a lovely handmade gift for gardeners, flower lovers and needlework fans, well suited to housewarmings, Mother's Day, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, spring and Easter, and teacher or thank-you gifts. Compatible with popular embroidery machine formats including DST, PES, EXP, JEF, VP3, HUS, XXX, PEC, and more.
