Designed this one last spring for a garden-themed seasonal batch and honestly it became one of my favourite wreath designs to stitch. The bumble bee sits right at the top of the circular arrangement, wings kinda just spread enough to show the underlay detail, surrounded by very soft roses and lavender. Thirteen colour stops total, five sizes from 3.48 inches up to 7.45 inches wide.
Stitch count goes from 18,251 at the smallest up to 44,793 on the full version. Density is deliberately kept moderate at 802 per square inch, thats how the petal fill stays soft rather than stiff. Use a cutaway stabiliser behind any stretch fabric, tearaway on cotton or linen. I recommend digitising notes say the bee wing sections need a satin underlay before the fill, dont skip that step or youll get gaps in the striping. The flower stems use a narrow satin stitch that requires consistent bobbin tension.
Pair it with any natural-tone fabric, oatmeal linen, cream cotton, sage green tea-towelling. One customer put this on a set of matching aprons and tea towels as a wedding gift for her mum and it looked incredible, she actually sent me a photo of the finished set. The 5 inch sits great on apron bibs, while the 7 inch version fills a full cushion cover panel with room to breathe. Skip very open-weave linen under 5 inches, the wreath gaps show through the fill.
Send me a quick message if any file format wont open on your machine and Ill get you the right one.

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.
