Looking to practice essential embroidery stitches while creating a fresh, spring-inspired design? Try this chamomile embroidery project from Lily’s Garden! The pattern uses the lazy daisy stitch for the white petals, French knots for the textured yellow centers, and a mix of outline and back stitches for the slender stems and leaves. It’s a very beginner-friendly approach that results in a delicate, realistic flower.
Because the design is simple and small, it’s perfect for adding a handmade touch to everyday items like tea towels, linen napkins, or canvas totes. The step-by-step guide helps you manage your thread tension so the petals stay plump and the stems look fluid. It’s a relaxing, low-pressure project that builds a solid foundation for more complex floral embroidery in the future.
