Two words, one flower, done right. Blessed sits at the top in a sage green italic script with little scrollwork coming off the letters and tiny leaf accents on either side. Above it, right in the centre, theres a poppy. Not a generic flower, an actual poppy: the 4 petals are filled in crimson red satin, the dark centre is a tight black fill with detail work, and a couple of small sprigs frame it in a deeper forest green. Then below all that, Mama comes in at almost double the size, bold black brush script, lots of weight and presence.
The two-word contrast is what makes it work. The delicate sage green up top versus the heavy black Mama at the bottom. One customer who bought this last mothers day stitched the 4-inch version onto a cream linen tote and gave it as a gift. She said her mum cried, which is either a great review or I should rethink the whole thing, but I think its a great review.
4 colours and 3 stops, so the colour changes are quick. Sage goes down first for the Blessed word and leaf shapes, red runs next for the poppy petals, then the forest tone picks up the stem accents, and black closes out the script on the lower half. The proportions are taller than wide, from 2.13 x 3.51 inches up to 4.55 x 7.51 inches across 9 sizes. That vertical format means it works on shirt fronts, tote bags, and small wall hoops really well. Dont overthink the fabric choice, cream cotton and white linen both look great.
Medium density at 450 stitches per inch. Use woven tearaway on most cotton and linen. If youre doing jersey or any stretch fabric go cutaway. The bold brush script has thick strokes that cant pull on stretch without the right stabiliser underneath. Avoid voile or organza without topping, the sage scrollwork is fine and will sink into the pile. The same buyer who gave it as a mothers day gift came back this june with a second order for a grandma version with adjusted wording. Stitch the medium size first as a test before committing to your final gift 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.
