Two golden bells side by side with a red bow at the top. The bells have that warm rounded shape, gold fill across the body shading into an orange-tan band near the rim at the bottom, with small clappers hanging inside. The bow sits where the two bells meet at the top, looped red with two tails. Its a traditional christmas bells design, pretty much exactly what you picture when you hear jingle bells, no modern twist or stylisation here, just the classic version done well.
My EmbroideryStudio file holds, 5 colours and 4 sizes from 2.5 inches up to 5.5 inches wide. Stitch count goes from 3,933 to 11,415. Density is 463 which sits nicely on cotton, canvas, and linen without the fill getting heavy. The shading band on the bell rim uses a slightly different fill angle to the main body which is what gives the bells some depth, so dont skip that section when youre planning thread colours. Back this with tearaway stabiliser on most wovens, cutaway on anything with stretch. Theres 5 colour changes so lay your threads out before you start.
My customers use this one mainly on cream linen napkins, natural canvas gift bags, and red cotton table runners. I sold a batch last december to someone making a set of matching christmas tea towels for a gift hamper and they used the 4-in centre on each one. Stitch it on a forest green cotton canvas bag and the warm gold bells pop nicely against that dark background. Works on oatmeal linen aswell, the gold shading reads really clearly on neutral warm tones.

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.
