My nephew stitched this one on his first proper embroidery project after watching me do it a few dozen times, which tells you the thread sequence isnt complicated even for a 5-colour run. The branches come out of the lower centre and fork upward, with blooms sitting at the tips and partway along the stems. The whole cluster reads as a heart shape when you step back, not because of any drawn outline but because of how the branches lean in at the top and the cluster narrows at the base.
Nine sizes from 3.08 inches tall up to 6.60 inches, stitch counts from 11,699 to 26,937. Five colours: plum brandy bark, light blush pink petals, white semi-open petals, orange stamens, dark red centres. Density at 543 so there is real coverage on the petals. Back it with a medium cutaway under anything knit. Use a single tear-away layer on quilting cotton or linen, thats all it needs. Skip the double-layer setup unless you are stitching on fleece, which is the one fabric where the petal sections tend to pucker at colour transitions.
Ive seen this done on a cream quilted tote and the plum bark thread against cream is genuinely one of the better colour combinations Ive come across for this style. The 6-inch size works on a linen napkin panel and the 3.5 in face is what I would put on the pocket of a white shirt. Add it to a tea towel set for a valentine or spring anniversary gift. Both orientations look intentional because the heart silhouette reads at any scale.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Valentine or anniversary gift on linenThe 6-inch size fills a linen napkin panel with room to hem cleanly on all sides.
- White shirt left-chest pocketA 3.5-inch placement on a shirt pocket reads as a neat accent without overwhelming the collar.
- Quilted tote bag front panelPlum bark thread on cream canvas tote is one of the cleaner colour combos for this design.
- Tea towel or cloth napkin setStitched on a plain tea towel in sets of two, good housewarming or hostess gift.
- Spring table runner embroideryThe 5-inch build placed on a table runner sits well between two place settings.
- Framed fabric art for a bedroomFloat-framed on raw linen or muslin it works as botanical wall art in a bedroom or hall.
- Baby shower gift on a muslin blanketThe soft blush palette works on a muslin swaddle blanket for a spring or cherry-blossom-themed shower.

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.
