The lotus sits centered, full bloom, petals fanned wide open. Every petal is worked in an old engraving style with tight radial lines running from base to tip, so the whole flower looks almost black and white like something out of a botanical print. Big layered outer petals curve back, inner petals stand upright around a small rounded bud at the top. Theres real depth in there once its stitched up.
Below the bloom, two round lily pads float on either side of the stem. The digitizer ran solid aqua satin on both pads with a green stem underneath, so they pop against the white background in a way the bloom doesnt. The water surface is a loose band of dark grey wavy tatami lines giving a reflection feel without being literal. Scattered around the whole composition, maybe 8 or 9 of those tiny four-point sparkle crosses sit quiet in the space without crowding anything.
5 colours total: black engraving thread does most of the work, then aqua for the pads, a mid-grey for the water band, lime green for the stems, and a lighter highlight thread tucked into the petal centres. Stitch count goes from 9,472 on the smallest up to 22,586 on the full 7.5-inch version, so plan for sewing time on the bigger sizes. Density is moderate at 416 stitches per square inch, not too heavy, sits cleanly on medium-weight fabric.
Best on white, ivory or soft grey cotton twill so the black engraving line reads sharp. Pale linen works if you want a softer background. Skip anything textured, the fine crosshatch lines blur on canvas or rough burlap and you lose the whole point. Cut-away stabiliser on the back, medium weight, and use a 75/11 sharp needle to keep those fine lines from pulling. Slow the machine to about 70 percent speed on the petal sections and youll get cleaner radial lines. I had a customer Stitch the 6-in run on a vanilla linen cushion last spring and it honestly looked like a woodblock print, completely different from what youd expect.
Hit me if a colour run shifts during stitchout and Ill trim the stitch order.

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.
