A proper full-face sunflower and it earns its price. Long sunshine yellow petals going outward in two layers, front row and back row overlapping the way real sunflower petals do. The centre disc has a dark warm brown tatami fill with concentric ring detailing and a tiny scattering of seed-pattern marks across it. It reads like a botanical illustration when its stitched out on white cotton.
3 colours: sunshine yellow from Madeira Classic 40, orange for the petal shading accents, and warm brown for the centre. 3 colour changes across 9 sizes. Density sits at 678 which is on the fuller side so the petals feel substantial, not thin and papery. Biggest size hits 37,904 stitches at 7.45 inches. Thats genuinely dense work. my usual software digitised the directional stitching on each petal individually so the thread angle follows the petal shape rather than going uniformly across.
I made this one for a market stall seller who does summer kitchen textiles. She wanted a sunflower that looked grown-up, not a childs cartoon. Last summer she messaged me and said shes sold 30 aprons with this design at her weekend stall. Since then I get messages from customers doing farmhouse decor, kitchen linen, canvas cushion covers. The 5-inch on a wheat linen tote is what most people end up ordering.
Back it with poly-mesh under on any fabric. At nearly 38k stitches on the big size a tearaway wont hold. Hoop firm, pre-apply topping on towelling or fluffy fabric so the satin fills dont get lost in the pile. Run the 7-inch on a natural canvas apron front panel and it fills the space perfectly. Skip black fabric because the orange shading reads against light colours only.
Sizes run from 3.47 to 7.45 inches across 9 options. Drop me a chat if the file throws up any errors and Ill get it fixed the same day. Send a chat if the satin needs tweaking and Ill check the punch.

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.
