Five wildflower stems lined up across linen like specimens in an old herbarium plate. 4 sizes, mostly black outline work. Left to right: a five petal star flower with a thin curving stem, a daisy paired with a fern style compound leaf branch where the leaflets sit as solid dark fill, a tall narrow flowering stem carrying small rounded leaves, then a stem of four little forget me not type flowers with a dark filled leaflet branch beside it, and finally a stem of small bell shaped flowers next to a tall dark berry cluster. The blooms stay kinda fine outline only. The leaf branches alongside em carry solid dark thread fill. That contrast between wispy outline blooms and chunky solid leaves gives the piece its botanical plate feel.
Stitch counts go from 5,096 on the smallest 4.5 inch height up to 7,339 on the tall 7.5 inch top size. 4 sizes total. Density 226 which is light, outline work doesnt need much packing. Run a 70/10 or 75/11 sharp needle on linen or quilting cotton, the thin lines stay crisp that way. Hoop a light tearaway behind cotton, cutaway under stretch knits. Honestly the dark leaf fills carry most of the visual weight here, so check outline thread tension before kicking the run off or those fine flower contours will pull and break up the silhouette.
I made this one with kinda quiet farmhouse decor in mind. Folks have been buying it for cream linen tea towels and pillow shams lately, the outline format keeps the design soft against natural fibres without weighing the cloth down. My sister stitched the 5.5 inch on a duvet cover corner last spring. It sat flat through three machine washes already, no thread lift.
Best results show on muslin, raw linen, oatmeal cotton, anything natural toned that lets the outline read crisp. Skip dark fabrics, the black thread vanishes against em. Skip busy prints too, the design needs negative space around it to read as a botanical plate.
Send a note if any size opens wrong in your software, ill convert the file format same evening.

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.
