Sunbonnet Girl with Bouquet of Tulips

About this design

This timeless embroidery design features a sunbonnet girl walking along with an armful of freshly cut tulips. Worked in light outline and running stitch, her deep bonnet is drawn in royal blue with a flowing green ribbon bow trailing behind, hiding her face in the traditional style. Her full-skirted dress is outlined in red with scalloped hem trim and green edging, finished with solid blue shoes peeking beneath. The generous bouquet is stitched in red and green with open tulip blooms, slender leaves and a big red ribbon tied around the stems, while small grass tufts sprout at her feet. The airy linework and limited palette make this a light, quick-stitching heirloom motif on a clean cream background. Stitch it onto quilt blocks, quilt sashing, pillowcases, tea towels, table runners, placemats and hoop wall art, or add it to cushions, tote bags, aprons, hand towels, dresser scarves, curtain panels, girls' dresses and greeting card inserts. This nostalgic country motif makes a heartfelt gift for quilters and stitchers, gardeners and flower lovers, farmhouse and cottage decor fans, housewarmings, Mother's Day, Grandparents Day and craft fair projects. Compatible with popular embroidery machine formats including DST, PES, EXP, JEF, VP3, HUS, XXX, PEC, and more.
