Bring painterly floral detail to your stitching with this realistic red lily, centred on a single open bloom with curled petals and clearly defined stamens. The red petals are warmed with cream, beige, maroon and peach tones, which gives the flower a natural depth instead of a flat block of colour. It suits anyone who wants a classic floral design that feels refined and lifelike rather than overly decorative.
This is an especially good choice for the front of a linen blouse, the corner of a table runner, a denim jacket back or a cushion cover where one strong bloom can do the work on its own. With just 3 thread colours used to build the shading, it keeps the palette controlled while still reading as richly detailed. The dense, heavily stitched finish gives the lily real presence, so it shows best on stable fabrics that can support a fuller embroidery.
