Colourful musical notes frame with a big black treble clef on the left, bold and clear, the kind you recognise from sheet music in about half a second. On the right side the music staff wraps around into a complete circle, like someone bent a bar of music into a frame. Around that circular staff theres 8 individual notes, each one a different colour. Red, orange, teal, dark teal, purple, notes floating at different positions like theyre dancing off the page.
Density on this one is 140, genuinely light. Its the lowest density design in my current range and that means it runs fast and sits flat on almost any fabric without pulling or puckering. Stitch the smallest size at 3,474 stitches and its done in minutes. The largest only hits 7,779 even at 7.51 inches wide, so its totally manageable on delicate quilting cotton, muslin, or lightweight jersey.
A customer running a childrens music school ordered the 5-inch size last spring for their end-of-term recital bags, 40 cream cotton totes. She wrote to me afterwards saying parents were asking where she bought the bags because they didnt realise they were student-made projects. Im keeping this one in the catalogue forever based on that message alone.
Best on cream, white, navy or dark teal fabric where all 7 colours are visible. Skip black because the dark teal note blends out. Use tearaway stabiliser since the density is so low it doesnt need heavy backing. Add a standard 75/11 needle and dont worry about speed, this one runs clean.

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.
