Worked up this autumn acorn cluster with three plump brown acorns sat together at the centre. Each acorn has a textured cross-hatch cap stitched on top, gives them that real oak feel rather than a flat shape. Directional fills run through the acorn bodies making them look rounded and almost 3D when youre holding the fabric in hand.
Behind the acorns sit three big oak leaves spread out like a fan. Two are golden yellow, one is deep forest green, all with detailed vein lines stitched right through them. Underneath the acorns curl out green vine scrolls like tendrils, theyre soft running stitch curls that frame the whole cluster.
I drew this last september for a customer who runs a fall farm stand and wanted something for her cotton produce bags. Since then customers keep ordering it for autumn dinner napkins, mum tote bags for school pickup season, and one teacher last fall used it for her classroom thanksgiving banner border.
Comes in 5 sizes from 3.14 inches wide up to 6.72 inches, slightly taller than wide because of the leaves spreading up. Stitch counts run 8,647 to 24,134, moderate range. Best on cotton, linen, canvas, twill, denim. Skip lightweight knits at the bigger size since the leaf fills can pull thin fabric. Thats the only fabric Id avoid honestly.
Pair heavyweight cutaway woven cotton and linen, cutaway for any stretch knit. Hoop firm, the cross-hatch caps want stable backing to stitch crisp. Holler at me through the contact form if the file load fails and ill swap it usually within hours.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
