Heres the cheeky kitchen quote design and its proper sassy. Big looping coral red script across four lines reads Blessed are those who do my Dishes with the words Blessed and Dishes in fat brush calligraphy and the middle phrases in a thinner italic. Off to the right sits a small yellow bowl with white dishes peeking up out of it, sunbeams radiating outward like the dishes are sacred objects. Real mum-apron sass.
The lettering uses dense satin fills in a coral red. Each curve has directional satin to keep the brushstroke feel even at smaller sizes. The bowl is a warm yellow with white dishes stacked inside, six tiny rays of light shoot off the top edge. Just three colours total, red, yellow, and white, plus a fine black outline on the bowl rim. Density runs gentle at 23k stitches on the biggest 7.5 inch size.
Right after a community service drive a non profit ordered the quote for volunteer tote bag fronts. She ordered it on christmas-red aprons for the holiday season and they sold out before new years. People have been asking ever since whether ya can switch the red to navy or sage, and yes ya can swap any colour stop in your software.
Stitch on cream cotton, white kitchen apron canvas, butter yellow tea towel, sage linen. That coral lettering needs a pale ground to read clearly. Skip black or dark navy aprons here. Pop the 4 inch on a tea towel corner. Run the 6 inch on the front of a kitchen apron pocket. Drop the 7.5 inch on a wall hoop above the kitchen sink as a daily reminder. Wont win ya any housework awards but itll get a laugh. One colour. Done. Density is light at 440 spi so use a basic tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton. Mesh cutaway works under stretchy fabric. Hoop firm because the script lettering needs the cloth held tight or those long satin curves wont sit clean. Add tearaway topping over textured terry tea towels so the letters sit on top of the pile rather than sinking into it.

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.
