Its a daisy but not the soft kind youd find on a cottage garden quilt. This one leans hard into contrast. Six white floral petals fan out from a dense yellow-black centre disc, and each one has thick black shadow stripes running lengthwise, almost like linocut print marks. So the whole head reads as graphic and structural even at smaller sizes. Six colours in total: white base, two shades of black giving the stripe depth, a warm yellow for the centre disc, darker brown-black on the disc edge detailing, and fresh green on the two leaves at the base.
The centre is dense with small seed-dot fills packed tight into the disc so you get real texture there, not just a flat circle. Each petal uses directional satin fills that shift angle as they fan outward from the disc, which is what makes the shadow stripes catch the light differently depending on angle. Its properly detailed work, 56k stitches on the largest size, so give yourself a solid stabiliser setup before you start.
Sizes run from 4.34 by 4.5 inches up to 7.23 by 7.51 inches. Four size options, all square-ish proportions. Use a medium-weight cutaway on denim and a tear-away on tightly woven cotton canvas. Float a layer of solvy if youre going onto fleece so the fine stripe lines dont sink into the pile. Skip white or pale fabric, the white petals need dark contrast to do anything worthwhile.
Colour-wise it pairs well on navy, forest green, rust, or a warm charcoal. Dark backgrounds make the yellow centre glow and the black stripes read as richly graphic rather than just dark lines fighting each other. I sold a lot of the 7-inch version to people doing tote bag market ranges last spring. One customer told me her whole flowers and garden run sold out before noon. She said she put it on navy canvas and the contrast just worked immediately.
But this design works well anywhere you want a botanical floral motif that doesnt look like a watercolour transfer. Its structural, its got proper depth. Run it on anything and it reads as intentional.

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.
