The cross here isnt drawn as a solid shape. Its built from maybe 40 scattered hearts, some tiny, some medium, all sitting loose and organic like someone dropped them there by hand. They run diagonally top-left to bottom-right, cutting right across Hope in the centre and overlapping the L of Love at the bottom. That structural detail is what separates this from a standard faith quote design.
And the 3 words are layered in size on purpose. Hope takes up the most space, written in a wide bold italic script that curves generously. Faith sits smaller in the top-right corner in a lighter script. Love anchors the bottom in another bold sweep, its L looping down into a tail that finishes the composition cleanly. Nothing aligns to a grid, everything floats organically around the heart-cross spine, which is probably why it feels less stiff then a standard text layout. So theres a lot going on spatially but it reads as one cohesive piece on white or pale fabric.
Two colour stops only, blush pink for the heart shapes and hot magenta for all the lettering. Customer feedback on this design leans toward pink-on-pink pairings, a pale dusty rose background where the hot magenta pops against the softer base. Works just as well on white cotton. Skip busy patterns because the scattered hearts need open space to read as a cross rather than background noise. Last October a customer bought this for a breast cancer awareness walk tee in pale pink at 7 inches wide and the design read as a ribbon cross clearly from 5 metres away.
Stitch count runs substantial, up to 29k on the 8-inch size, so stabilise properly. Float woven cotton over a woven cutaway in the hoop, snug tension, and the underlay carries those 40-plus heart fills without dragging. Use a 75/11 sharp needle if youre seeing skipped stitches on the small heart shapes. The finished result justifies the setup time.

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.
