Georgia O'Keefe's Florals: Visible Mending Transfers

Georgia O’Keeffe didn’t just paint flowers—she stopped time on them, turning petals, curves, and shadows into landscapes of form and motion. Her florals invite you to slow down and notice how shapes hold themselves and interact with space.

This transfer set channels that same attention to structure, rhythm, and contour, and for the first time in our Inspired By collection, uses multiple line weights: bolder lines are designed for 6-strand sashiko thread to anchor the main structure, while finer lines mark subtle shading and depth, perfect for 3-strand sashiko or embroidery floss.

Use these designs to reinforce what’s worn while creating dimensional, intentional stitches that honor both fabric and form.

Each transfer cut-out is 4.25" by 5.5".

How to Use Your Visible Mending Transfers

Prep Your Fabric: Make sure your fabric is clean and dry before starting.

Choose Your Design: Pick one of the four designs from the set.

Apply the Transfer: Place the transfer design with the printed side facing the fabric. Gently press to activate the adhesive.

Stitch: Use a needle and thread to stitch along the design, following the printed lines. Feel free to add your own flair or skip areas you don't like.

Rinse and Reveal: Once your stitching is complete, rinse the fabric to remove the stabilizer. Your design will stay in place, and the stabilizer will wash away!

If you’ve ever stopped to really look at the soft curve of a flower petal or the bold colors of a desert sunset, you’re already seeing the world through the eyes of Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986). Known as the "Mother of American Modernism," Georgia spent her life capturing the giant, soulful beauty of nature’s smallest details. She didn’t just paint landscapes; she painted the feeling of being there, using flowing lines and vibrant hues that feel both organic and modern.

We’ve channeled her love for the Southwest and her "less is more" philosophy into this mending transfer pack. Whether you’re patching a favorite pair of jeans or covering a snag, these designs help you turn a "mistake" into a piece of art inspired by Georgia’s iconic, natural style.

These mending patterns are a love letter to the artists who move us—not replicas, but stitches inspired by their spirit. We believe their genius extends far beyond the canvas, into the way we see, create, and repair the world around us. While our designs are original interpretations, they wouldn’t exist without the brilliance of Georgia O'Keefe and her enduring influence.
