So the word LOVE sits there big and bold, but each letter is basically its own Christmas decoration. The L is a chunky green block covered in white polka dots, and it wears a little red Santa hat tilted off the top corner, hat tip and white pompom hanging to the left. The O isnt a letter at all really, its a round ornament ball, red with white swirl stripes running across the whole face, black cap and gold loop at the top like its still hanging on a branch.
The V comes in green on the left face and red on the right, both sides running diagonal candy stripes in contrasting colours so the whole letter looks like a wrapped candy cane sliced lengthways. And the E is the same candy-stripe idea but rotated, red base with white diagonal lines, and tucked into the bottom right corner theres a tiny gold candle with an orange flame plus a small cluster of holly and red berries. Each letter has a clean black outline separating it from the neighbours so nothin bleeds together even at speed.
Six colours total, 4 sizes from roughly 2 by 4.5 inches up to 3.25 by 7.5 inches. Stitch counts run from about 18,700 up to nearly 33,000 on the largest, so this one stitches out a bit slower than a simple outline but the density means every fill sits flat and sharp. Its the kind of file where you go slow on the polka dot section of the L and the results are worth it. A customer grabbed the mid size last year for a set of stockings and said the swirl detail on the O held perfectly even on thick polar fleece, which frankly surprised me too.
Bright white, cream or kraft-brown fabric shows all six colours off cleanest. Go with a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser and drop your speed a little on the L section, the short satin columns can pull if the machine runs flat out. Hoop tight and float a layer of topping on any fabric with texture or nap. Dont skip the topping on linen, youll thank yourself.
Holler me if a colour run skips or the ornament cap on the O stitches off-centre and Ill shift the start point.

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.
