Three flowers cluster just left of center where the text stacks, a big pink daisy with a golden yellow centre sitting highest, then a medium dark green one below it, then a tiny dark green bud right at the bottom. Thats what anchors the whole thing visually. "ALWAYS" runs across the top in wide hollow block letters with a thick charcoal outline, open in the middle but bold and confident on canvas twill or cotton. "BE" sits in the middle in lime green, those letters are outlined too but filled with a brighter satin-stitch green that really pops. "Kind" sweeps underneath in flowing cursive script, dark charcoal matching the top word, with that long looping K tail stretching way out to the right. I digitised this with 3 colour groups for the text and five total counting the flower petals and their golden centres.
A teacher I know ordered nine of these last month for classroom door signs on natural linen, and thats probably my favourite use Ive seen so far. The stitch count runs from 7,515 up to 15,128 across the 5 sizes, and with density at 280 stitches per inch the outlined block letters hold their shape without gaps between rows. Use a cutaway stabiliser, not tearaway, because of the mixed directional stitching, the fill on "BE" runs vertical while the cursive underlay angles across, and you need that base locked down or the letters drift on you.
Cotton twill is my top pick, linen runs close second. Hoop with the quote centered vertically, not the flowers, or the design sits bottom-heavy on wider fabric. Stitch the cursive "Kind" section before the tatami fill on "ALWAYS" when you can reorder the sequence, since dense block stitching can shift the grain slightly on lighter cotton. Add topping on fleece or terry so the loops dont eat the fine script curves, and pair that pink thread with dusty rose over flat bubblegum if youre stitching onto dark denim.
Ping me quick if the density fights your fabric.

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.
