An outline-style bonsai fruit tree, totally different aesthetic from the solid-fill bonsai cousin. Thin twisting trunk drawn in clean line work curving upward from a shallow oval pot, branches reaching out in three directions with delicate leaf clusters and round berry fruits hanging from them. Every element rendered as outline only, no fills, just open green line work that lets the fabric ground show through underneath. Reads like a botanical sketch.
Single colour, emerald green thread top to bottom. Smallest 3.51 inch size hoops at 6,812 stitches. Biggest 7.51 inch sits around 12,933, density at a light 327. Thats deliberately low cause the outline-only style means most of the stitching is satin running tracing edges rather than fill. Outline designs are abit unforgiving on stretchy ground though, the lines will distort if the fabric pulls under tension. Ive digitised this in professional digitising software with running-stitch pull-compensation tuned for woven cotton and linen weaves.
Cause its an outline design negative space matters. A customer ordered the 5-inch size for matching linen napkins, theyre cream linen with a layer of light tearaway underneath. She said the design looked like it had been hand-drawn directly onto the napkin with a paint pen. Suprised her how clean the detail came up. She told me she ordered a second set for her sister-in-laws kitchen.
Best stitched on cream linen, white cotton, oat or sage ground where green outline reads sharp. Skip stretchy jersey, its gonna distort. Avoid busy prints, the design needs negative space to read. Hoop with light tearaway under woven linen. Drop medium cutaway under anything with a small bit of give. The 3.51 inch smallest fits a 4x4 hoop for napkin corners. Largest 7.51 inch centred inside a 5x7 hoop suits tea towels, cushion fronts, table runners. Pair the small size on multiple napkins as a coordinated set. Looks delicate, feels intentional.

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.
