Big black cursive hello at the top, thick swooping satin columns with that casual handwritten feel. Below it, six ice lollies in a row, each one a different colour: hot pink, orange, yellow, green, sky blue and red. Each lolly has a letter of SUMMER printed on it in white bubbly font, and the dark sticks underneath have that wet melting look like the pops are dripping in the heat. Its 8 colours total which means seven colour changes, so ya machine does stop a bunch. But the colour sequence is logical and each lolly pop colour is its own stop, its honestly not as fiddly as it sounds once you run through it once.
5 sizes from 2.42 by 3 inches up to 5.63 by 7.01 inches. Smallest runs 6,903 stitches, largest hits 22,730. Density is 576 which is on the denser side for the lolly fills, so those satin-column fills on the bubble letters get some punch. I reckon suprised how well it reads even on the small 3-inch size because my main digitising tool digitised the white letter fills with proper underlay to keep em crisp.
One ice cream truck vendor in florida ordered a batch of these on staff aprons this past june and sent me photos of the whole crew wearing em at a summer festival. Honestly one of the better uses Ive seen for this one. But mostly I sell it for kids summer tees, last day of school shirts and beach camp bags. Dm me if you want the colours adjusted to a specific ice cream brand palette and I can point you to what thread codes match closest.
Stitch on white or cream cotton for max colour pop, the 8 colours really need a pale neutral ground to read properly. Skip dark fabrics, the black hello text and the black drip sticks disappear. Use a cutaway stabiliser under dense sections, at 22k stitches on the big size those satin columns need firm backing to stay crisp. Hoop snug because those six pops stretch nearly 7 inches wide at the largest and any hoop slack will shift the alignment between lollies. Dm me if your colour sequence looks off or a lolly fill puckers and Ill look at the file with ya.

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.
