Heres the spring bee and daisy meadow piece, a 5.66 inch garden floral with two big open daisies, one smaller bud and a fat little bumblebee hovering above. The petals fan out wide in a light cream fill with pale mint shading along the edges so they look almost watercoloured rather then heavy. Centres are a warm sunshine yellow with that classic stippled crown texture. Real cottage botanical feel.
Last spring my mum was running a small saturday market stall and I made her a batch of tea towels using this one along the hem. The bumblebee sits up top with proper striped body, translucent satin wings and tiny black antennae. Below, the grass is mostly running stitch line work, just charcoal grey strokes giving the impression of a meadow without bulking up the count. Light and airy. Alot of botanicals get heavy quick but this one breathes.
Five colours total, 9 sizes from 2.64 inch up to 5.66 inches wide. Stitch counts come in between 10k and 22k so its managable on most home machines and friendly for a beginner working on flowers for the first time. The horizontal layout suits a hem panel really well, customers been using it for kitchen towels, aprons and table linen sets.
Stitch on cream linen, soft beige cotton, pale sage green or a light chambray. Skip bright white, the cream petals dissapear into it. Use a medium tearaway stabiliser, the fills are light enough that you wont need a heavy cutaway. Polyester thread holds the yellow centres bright through wash cycles, rayon has a softer sheen if your towel is mostly decorative.
Hoop the smaller 3.5 inch on apron pockets and napkin corners. The 5.66 inch lands cleanly on a tea towel hem, runner end, or 16 inch reading nook cushion. Ping me if your machine wont read the file, ill swap the format same evening.

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.
