The whole design runs in a single warm rose-brown tone, which is honestly what makes it work so well on fabric. Its a side-on portrait of a womans face, eyes gently closed, head tilted back the slightest amount. Full lips, soft chin line, hair swept back in loose waves. And then the roses come in, big full blooms woven all the way through the hair from the very top of the head down past the jaw. Leaves scatter between em, some furled, some flat, and each one shares the same fine crosshatching that fills the face itself.
Only 2 colour changes throughout the whole thing and you dont need more. On larger sizes full 7.5 reach the stitch count reaches 64k so theres alot of fine linework packed in, but Wilcom digitised it with tight satin columns on the face contours and a light running stitch fill on the hair sections. It reads sharp even on mid-weight linen or cotton twill. The leaves use directional stitching that fans outward from the stem, which is a small detail but makes a real difference to how botanical it looks when you hold it up.
My niece spotted this one and ordered it last month for a tote bag she wanted for a garden party. She went with an oatmeal canvas base and the rose-brown thread and it looked like something from an independent boutique, not a home stitch job. I get that reaction with this design more than almost anything else in my shop, customers are suprised how much depth you get with just 2 colours and no fuss.
Use it on light fabrics where the thread colour shows clearly. Cream linen, white cotton, pale sand canvas, ivory muslin. Avoid any base darker than a mid-grey because the single-colour linework needs contrast to read. Hoop well because the fine lines in the face need tension to lie flat without puckering. Tearaway stabiliser works on stable wovens, a light cutaway on anything with stretch, dont skip it.
Drop me a message if anything looks off after the run and Ill sort the tension or density settings for your specific machine.

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.
