The Squash Blossom Necklace — Big, Bold, and Absolutely Show-Stopping
Some designs start with an idea. This one started with a piece of jewelry so gorgeous I couldn't stop staring at it — a giant squash blossom necklace, all that intricate Southwestern beadwork and dangling detail, and I thought: this needs to be embroidery.
So I got to work digitizing it in metallic thread, stitch by stitch, until every curve and bead of that necklace came to life on fabric. Then — because good ideas deserve bold execution — we cut it out and stitched it onto a tote bag for a custom commission.
The result? Absolutely stunning. Metallic thread catching the light, that oversized statement-piece energy, on a bag you'd actually want to carry every single day.
Here's the best part: this design isn't a one-trick pony. Stitch it as a direct embroidery, or turn it into a patch you can move from project to project. Slap it on a sweatshirt. Add it to a jacket, a jean jacket back panel, a bag, a hat — anywhere you want some serious statement-piece sparkle. If you can dream it, this design can go on it.
It comes in two sizes, so whether you want it as a bold focal point or a slightly more subtle accent, you're covered.
