This one is gonna take some thread. 10 colours, 4 sizes running from 4.49 inches up to 7.49 inches square, and the stitch count tops out at 68,463 on the largest size. Even the smallest at 40,679 stitches is alot to ask of a lighter fabric. The whole thing is a packed cluster of lily blooms, deep reds and burgundy on the outer ring, purple and lavender in the centre, pink and blush scattered between, with olive green leaf sprays shooting out from underneath. No open background, its solid flowers from edge to edge.
Mapped the underlay in my embroidery software and the petals use directional satin columns so the shading changes across each bloom depending on which way the thread runs. Thats where the 1,219 density reading comes from. Pop a thick cutaway under it, not tearaway, because the density will pull a tearaway apart on cotton or linen. A mesh wash stabiliser on top of the fabric helps the hooped piece feed through cleanly.
A customer asked me last spring whether the purple lilies in the centre would show up on a natural oatmeal linen tablecloth and honestly they do, the colour contrast on that particular fabric is one of the best combos Ive seen. She went with the 6 inch size and it sat beautifully centred on a square tablemat. Best results come on white, cream, or soft grey backgrounds. Skip navy or black because those reds just disappear.
Use a 90/14 needle for this one, the density and thread changes will work better with a slightly larger eye. There are 10 colour swaps so stay near the machine for those first few sections and make sure your bobbin is full before you hoop up.
Send me a note if you want the flowers in different colours and Im happy to advise on thread substitutions.

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.
