Deerest Darlin Doily Patch Greeting Card

A scalloped felt heart with a bashful little fawn at its centre and “Deerest Darlin” stitched in looping red across the top. Sweet, yes — but with a slight wink to it too. Vintage Valentine energy, filtered through an old western postcard and finished in proper embroidery.

The patch arrives attached to a die-cut greeting card, so it starts as something you write and gift, then turns into something worth keeping. Add your message directly onto the card, hand it over, and once the moment’s passed the patch lifts away, ready for life on a jacket, tote or anything already a bit loved. The iron-on backing makes the move from card to keepsake easy.

At 5" x 5", the patch has real presence. Dense stitching, warm browns and grassy greens, plus that bold red border that keeps it feeling graphic rather than overly delicate. It feels like something collected rather than something new.

Part greeting card, part embroidered patch — affectionate, slightly playful, and made to stick around long after the writing’s been read.
