Classic christmas poinsettia done as a full circular arrangement, not a single flower head. Red petals radiate from a small orange-gold centre with strong black vein lines through each one, giving them that deep botanical texture. You can see the veining clearly even at the 3.45-inch size. Around the outside theres fine pine-needle sprigs in two shades of green with small round berry clusters tucked between them. Five colours: two greens, red, black veins, and orange for the centre dot.
Five colours, 4 color changes, 25,175 to 61,342 stitches across the five sizes. Its a dense piece and theres real weight to the finished work on linen. My friend who runs a christmas craft fair has been using the 5-inch design on linen table runners for three seasons and says its her top seller every November. Run a layer of [medium tearaway] under linen and cotton for anything under 5 inches. Use cutaway for the 7-inch version on heavier fabrics because the density is high and tearaway can leave bits in the vein stitch sections.
Pull your hoop firm before starting, the large piece is nearly square and any slack shows in the petal fill. Trim jump threads between the two green sections so they dont shadow through the lighter sprigs. Text me if you want the alternate stop sequence for the greenery, some machines read the two greens in a different order than the default and its a quick fix.

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.
