Hooped this one for my sister last week, shes a librarian and a chronic book hoarder and the quote made her actually laugh out loud. The lettering switches up colour every couple of words. Red curvy cursive on "A Book", teal block caps on "KEEPS", peach script for the "a Day" bit, then big teal cursive again on "Reality" and red on "Away" at the bottom.
Off to the left theres a little purple and red book leaning on its side, with a yellow ribbon bookmark hangin out and 5 white pages stacked up. Around the whole quote you got nine red five-point stars scattered like confetti, gives it that scrapbook page energy. Honestly the stars are what make it feel less stiff, without em the lettering would read too neat.
This one is a denser stitchout. 9 sizes from 3.37 to 7.21 inches wide, and the stitch range goes 18k all the way up to 39k. Eight colours total so you'll be swapping thread alot, plan ya bobbin refills before ya start. Software is industry software so the digitising is clean.
Pop the medium 5x7 on a canvas tote bag for a book club gift, or run the largest size on a cream cotton tea towel for the kitchen of a reader who lives off coffee and paperbacks. Skip dark fabrics, the peach "a Day" lettering will completely vanish. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser cos that lower red script has long satin columns that wanna pull on jersey.
Send a stitchout photo if a satin run lifts on stretch knit.

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.
