Its a palm tree thats decided to get involved. Ten colours, density at 995 stitches per square inch. The trunk is a warm tan tatami fill with knot-texture marks, sitting on a small sandy mound. The fronds spread out at the top in long arching blades, each a separate directional fill in light sage green with a darker vein line. Theyre not perfectly symmetrical, a few hang lower on one side for the natural lean you'd expect from an actual palm.
The trunk has a green cord spiraling down it, looping twice, with small coloured bulbs along it, yellow, purple, white, the kind of mismatched set thats been in the garage for years. A red knitted stocking hangs off one of the lower fronds, textured tan cuff with a stripe of decorative stitching near the top. Tucked into the fronds there are a few small red berry sprigs. And sitting on the sand at the base, half-collapsed as if someone just set it down, is a red Santa hat with white fleece trim and a small grey pompom.
Five sizes from 3.51 by 2.86 up to 7.51 by 6.13. The largest pushes 45,000 stitches so allow an hour on a home machine. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser and hoop firmly. Add a water-soluble topping on any textured fabric because the frond detail is fine enough to sink into a rough weave. Skip light knit, the dense fill pulls without proper support.
Mostly this goes on beach-themed decor and tropical gear. A customer who lives in Queensland messaged me last December to say she put the large size on a linen cushion for her veranda and her neighbours kept asking where she bought it. Message the shop if the stocking colour bleeds into the sand fill and Ill find a thread substitute.

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.
