Its not your standard triangle tree. The shape comes from layered horizontal tiers that look like stacked ribbons or tinsel swags, each one a slightly different tone of grey or white, so the whole tree reads as a sketch of itself. Multicolour fairy lights drape down the tiers in small loops, and red snowflake shapes scatter across the background. Gold star on top. Below the tree, the phrase All Book for Christmas runs in a mix of green block letters and red cursive that leans slightly like someone wrote it in a hurry.
Twelve colours to pull this off and yes thats the most in this collection, but the 33k stitch count on the 6-inch size still runs comfortably in under an hour. the software I use handled the colour sequencing well so theres only 11 thread changes even with 12 colours active. The ribbon tier fills use a light tatami fill so they dont add too much thickness on top of each other. Red snowflakes sit in the background as open satin stars to avoid competing with the main structure. Use midweight cutaway under woven cotton for the 12-colour density. Stitch on cream or beige grey fabric. Skip dark fabric entirely, the ribbon tiers wash out on anything below mid-tone.
Alot of customers grab this one for library-themed christmas gifts or book-themed holiday merch. Its a bit of a niche but its a real niche. I get orders from librarians, bookshop owners, and teachers who run classroom reading corners every december without fail. One librarian ordered it last november for 6 canvas totes as staff gifts and and the other librarians couldnt beleive how specific it was to their actual job. Pop it on a canvas tote or a linen project bag and any reading-obsessed person will get it immediately.

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.
