The sunflower takes up the left half and its done in a deep magenta, almost crimson pink, those satin column petals radiating outward. The centre of the flower isnt a typical seed disk, theres a small pink awareness ribbon stitched right in the middle of it which is a lil detail that I really like. Then to the right of the flower the quote runs in a mix of light handwritten script and bolder text: "You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have." Small floating hearts in bubblegum pink scatter around the quote block, 8 of them at various sizes, digitised with a soft satin fill so they read gentle rather than heavy.
Two colours total. Colour 1 is that deep magenta doing the petals, ribbon centre, and the bold display words. Colour 2 is a softer pink picking up the hearts and the lighter cursive script lines. The contrast between em is what gives the piece its layered look without needing a third thread swap. Stitch count is 9,226 on the 3.51-inch smallest and 18,138 on the 6.51-inch largest, 4 sizes total.
I get a lot of orders from people running support groups rather than individual buyers. Last spring a lady running a breast cancer peer support group in her community ordered the 6.51-inch version for fundraiser tote bags she was handing out at meetings. She sent me a photo of the whole table covered in them and honestly it looked brilliant. The flower carries softness, the quote carries weight. Good balance.
Lay a tearaway on woven cotton canvas, cutaway if youre hooping jersey or fleece. Hoop firm and run a slow speed on the first few petals to make sure the magenta thread isnt pulling. Stitch on white, cream or natural linen for the cleanest read. Skip anything darker than a mid grey because the lighter pink hearts blend into the background. Pop the 6.5-inch on a craft-show tote and it completely fills the front panel. Drop me a quick chat note if the file behaves oddly and ill look into it right away.

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.
