Two beetroots sitting next to each other, but heres the thing, one is fully filled in with that classic deep magenta pink and one is just the outline. Same shape, same leaf tops, but the right one is basically a sketch of the left. Its a deliberate design choice and it really works, gives the whole thing a botanical-illustration-meets-modern-print feel that you dont see often in embroidery.
The leaves are dark green with yellow-green mid-veins running through, that yellow thread doing maybe 1k stitches per size but punching above its weight in the overall look. The magenta root has directional fill stitching with the lines following the natural round shape of the beet, which is what gives it a slightly three-dimensional look rather than a flat circle. Black outlines tie the two beets together visually even though theyre stitched differently.
Stitch counts run from 10k on the small build up to 25k on the 7.26-inch, pretty light density overall at 464 so it sews quickly and doesnt challenge most machines. my embroidery software laid down a light underlay on the magenta fill, its a british digitising habit that shows, keeps the pink satin from tunnelling on the curved root shape. Four colours, 3 stops including a final black outline pass.
Works brilliantly on cream, white, oatmeal, sage green or natural linen. Also pairs nicely on slate blue or dusty teal fabric where the magenta pops warm against the cool background. I get messages from kitchen-decor buyers about this one for aprons and towels. One customer last november came back three times to buy more sizes for a full vegetable-theme kitchen set she was making as christmas gifts. Pair medium cutaway woven fabrics, skip knit on the larger sizes because the satin columns on the root need a stable base.

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.
