The word "Autumn" takes up nearly the whole top half in a big bold brush-script fill, bright orange with proper satin density so it reads clear even on the smallest 3-inch size. Below that, "is my favourite" runs across in a lighter hand-lettered style, slightly thinner strokes, same orange. Then "colour" hits the bottom in a chunky rounded block, and a pair of small maple leaves sit either side like little bookends. Two colours total: bright orange and a darker burnt sienna brown that adds just enough contrast on the leaf veins and shadow edges.
I made this specifically for the bunch of people who want an autumn quote piece that isnt just orange words on a white tote. The mixed weights make it visually interesting without needing 3 colours or alot of detail. On the 7-inch size youre looking at around 14,632 stitches and on the 3-inch smallest it drops to 5,817, so it scales cleanly without losing the letter shapes.
Customers order this one for coffee shop signage embroidery, which honestly suprised me a bit when it first started happening. A customer who runs a small cafe asked for 9 of them on canvas aprons for her staff last october, the mustard-coloured ones, and the burnt sienna thread on the slab base really popped. Since then Ive had yarn shop owners, bookshop assistants, even a librarian ask about it for staff uniform aprons.
Use a medium tearaway stabiliser on canvas or denim. Cutaway works better on fleece or knit blankets. Pick a natural-toned fabric so the bright orange has something to push against: oatmeal linen, charcoal cotton, rust canvas. Skip white fabric, it makes the design look flat. Pair with a needle size 75/11 for the thinner satin script sections and ease machine speed on the dense Autumn fill at the top.

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.
