Sketched this blue pumpkin and its dead minimal in the best way. The pumpkin body is drawn entirely in aqua line work, no fills, just clean outline curves showing the ridges of the pumpkin from stem to base. A curly brown stem twists up out of the top with a small tendril looping over to one side. Below the pumpkin a brown vine trails sideways carrying a row of leaves like its grew out from the base.
3 threads only and the stitch count comes in remarkably low, just 2,558 stitches on the smallest size which is a real quick stitch out, smaller than alot of designs of comparable size. The aqua blue carries the pumpkin shape, the warm brown handles the stem and trailing vine, and a small cyan accent picks up a few highlight curves to add gentle depth.
A customer in maine sent me a photo last november of these stitched onto a row of cream linen napkins for her thanksgiving table. She said her guests asked where she bought em, then she got an order from her sister in law for matching tea towels the same week. The minimalist look reads way more modern than orange jack o lanterns and that pulls a different crowd.
5 sized 3 to 7.5 across to a 7.5 top across, the smallest is great for cuffs and napkin corners, biggest sits centred on a tea towel or tote. Honestly the smallest works just fine because the line drawing scales clean either way.
Stitch on cream linen, oatmeal cotton, dusty pink chambray, sage canvas. Skip dark fabrics because the aqua thread wont read. Use tearaway stabiliser on wovens, the design is so light youll barely notice it pulling. Send em through to me if you want a recolour into pure white or matte black, that conversion takes about 5 min.

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.
