Narrow truck, very tall leaf arrangement. Thats the essential shape of this design and it works because the vertical aspect ratio is quite unusual for a truck embroidery. The vintage pickup sits in the lower portion of the frame, profile view, and from the truck bed a generous bouquet of autumn leaves and branches rises up and spills over the sides. Big ochre maple leaves, medium burnt orange leaf shapes, smaller sage green sprigs, all layered together like someone actually drove through a forest and came out the other side.
The leaf arrangement is the real subject here, the truck is almost secondary, it just provides the base and the reason for the composition. Thats what makes it feel more botanical than your typical autumn truck design. Wilcom put proper directional satin on the larger leaves and vein detail lines running from the midrib out, so at the larger sizes the leaves have genuine texture. Density sits around 520 stitches per square inch overall but the leaf section at the top is denser than the truck outline at the bottom.
Sizes run from 1.98 to 4.13 inches wide, 9 sizes running 3.51 inch smallest to 7.51 biggest on the height axis, so the proportions are quite tall and narrow. The tall narrow proportion is actually useful for sleeve placements and pocket panels. one customer ordered this one specifically for a sleeve placement on an autumn jacket, she wanted something that read vertically down the arm and this was the only truck design in the shop with that orientation. Stitch count is 6,246 to 16,094, lighter than youd expect for a detailed leaf arrangement.
Works on most fabrics. Light tearaway on quilting cotton and woven linen. Add topping on any textured base fabric so the leaf vein satin lines dont sink. Keep the needle sharp because the narrow vein lines on the large leaves need clean penetration. Hoop as a single unit with your stabiliser so the tall composition stays in register from base to tip.

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.
