Scene composition, not a still life pose. Three cosmos or daisy heads stack along the left edge, each one carrying a solid satin filled dark centre with pure outline petals wrapping around, and a bee flies in from upper right with wings spread and front legs reaching toward the blooms. Theres real movement in the layout because the bee isnt sat passive next to a flower, its mid-approach. The left side flowers stack roughly, a fat bloom centred between two smaller heads above and below. The bee on the right runs a satin filled abdomen plus a clean pair of wing outlines.
Single thread, density 263, ran clean on my sample piece during valentines day weekend on tan cotton at 5 wide. Daisy centres are the densest patches in the file, alot of stitches packed inside those small circles. Stitch range covers 4,910 through 11,985 across the 5 sizes, 2.84 small up to 6.08 across the body. The vertical height runs to 7.5 too so the largest panel needs at least a 6x10 frame to hoop properly.
And the gardener tote bag crowd keeps sending messages about this one. Heard from a customer back in spring whod tried the file on a heavy duty market garden tote, ended up running ten in matching sage thread for her allotment volunteer group, all on natural canvas grounds. The dynamic of the bee approaching the daisies reads as live garden moment, not an emblem, so the piece moves heavy at spring planting season more than other bee files in my shop.
Pop a firm tearaway behind cotton or canvas grounds, swap over to cutaway when stitching a knit polo. Skip the file on busy patterned fabric, the line work needs a quiet ground to read. Try midnight blue thread on chambray for a softer gardener look, or rust thread laid down on cream linen ground for an autumn garden journal vibe. Email me in case the format you need isnt sitting in the zip, ill drop it into your order folder same day.

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.
