Mocked this one up in a few colourways before settling on the amber-orange and its the right call, it reads like a warm cup of something. The tree trunk runs straight up from a steaming coffee cup at the base, and as it branches out the whole canopy is built from coffee words. Latte, Mocha, Americano, Cappuccino, Espresso, Hot, Morning, Dessert, Cream, Frappe, Macchiato, Beans. The letters become the branches and leaves, so there isnt any background fill, just the words forming the shape of a tree.
7 colour changes, stitch count climbs to 62k at the 10 inch size which is a real project but it stitches out methodically. Most of the colour work is in that steaming cup at the base where the cup, saucer, and steam each sit in slightly different amber-orange tones. The canopy words run in one dominant amber so the colour changes happen at the bottom. You can swap the cup tones to black and cream if you want a more cafe-menu look.
My mum stitched the 8 inch version on a thick cream linen kitchen towel last Christmas and honestly it looked like something youd buy in a proper deli. Place tearaway under linen weight fabric and a 75/11 needle. Add a light topping over any woven texture so the smaller word stitching stays sharp. At the 5 inch size the smaller words in the canopy are still readable but tight, I wouldn't go below that.
Back it with cutaway if you're putting it on a canvas apron or tote, tearaway is fine for towels and framed hoops. Send a quick line if the download doesnt arrive and Ill fix it.

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.
