I Love Us Free Floral Embroidery Pattern
Materials: (may contain affiliate links)
- 10″ x 10″ piece of linen – I used Riley Blake Linen in Natural
- Aurifil Embroidery Floss –
- 7″ embroidery hoop
- Needle
- I Love Us embroidery pattern
- For finishing: Scissors, glue
Instructions to make the I love us floral embroidery pattern:
- Transfer embroidery design onto the linen fabric.
- Embroider the design with the following stitches:
- Stitch lavender stems with a back stitch using 5014 Marine water
- Stitch lavender flowers with a lazy daisy stitch using 1248 Grey Blue
- Stitch daisy flower stems with a back stitch using 2890 Grass Green
- Stitch leaves of daisy flowers with a satin stitch using 2890 Grass Green
- Stitch petals of daisy flowers with a satin stitch using 6722 Sea Biscuit
- Stitch centers of daisy flowers by filling sections with French Knots using 2140 Orange Mustard
- Stitch lettering by outlining letters with a back stitch, then filling in open areas with layered back stitches using 6736 Jedi
Finishing the Floral Embroidery Design
If you’re going to leave your design in the hoop, make sure the design is centered in the hoop and the fabric is nice and tight. Trim the fabric around the hoop to about 1/2″ and glue the extra fabric to the inside of the hoop on the back side.
You could also use this for a pillow or quilt project! It would look so sweet as the center of a pillow design with a pretty pieced border around it!

To answer Margaret, who posted yesterday w/printer problems: the linen fabric is 10″ x 10″ placed into the 7″ hoop.
This is a refreshing pattern that has daisies in a delightful bouquet. I love how the centers are stitched; everything is excellently explained and your tute is great. Thanks for this freebie!

miranda says
I recently found this tutorial while looking for patterns to practice with im a newbie. i had read that some patterns have you use a different number of threads depending on the design? maybe? again im a beginner. anyways i was wondering if there was a list of threads needed for this one? or if i just use all 6 strands? thank you!
Beverly says
Hi Miranda! I used 3 strands of floss for all the stitching on this hoop. :) I hope you have fun making it!
Linda Derkson says
I love this pattern! I’m new to embroidery and I’m struggling with the petals on the daisy. Can you please tell me how many threads you use when doing the satin stich and how do I keep the petals separate from each other?
Beverly says
Hi Linda! I used three strands of floss for the satin stitching. If you keep your stitching a little shorter on the ends of the petal, to give it that rounded look, that should help the petals to look separate. Also, keep the bulk of your stitches towards the center of the petal.
Thanks!
