The quieter sibling in the 'Fall in love' set. Its the full maple leaf shape as the main element, not just a small accent, and the leaf outline and tatami fill is done in a light burnt orange that reads almost translucent at the smaller sizes because the density sits at 210. Low density on purpose, thats what makes it feel less heavy than a standard filled leaf. The leaf has those sharp angular points at the tips, roughly 7 or 8 lobes depending on which side ya count from, and the overall silhouette is wider than it is tall.
Across the centre 'Fall in love' runs in a casual hand-written style script in black thread, the letters sitting loosely without trying to be perfectly centred, which is what gives it character. Scattered around the outside of the leaf are a few small open-outline heart shapes in the same black, just floating there like they got caught in a breeze. 2 colours, 1 colour change. Stitch count is suprisingly light actually: 3,290 stitches at the smallest 3 x 2.9 inch size up to 9,932 at the full 6.98 x 6.78 inch, which means even a slower home embroidery machine handles this without complaints.
My daughter actually stitched the largest version on a natural linen tote when she was just learning to hoop and it came out clean on the first try. Thats how forgiving the density is on a 210-count design. Good entry-level file for anyone newer to digitised designs. Text me if you want the hearts shifted to one side for a more asymmetrical layout and Ill see what I can do.
Use cream, sand or natural linen as the base and the orange leaf fills in warm and harvest-toned. Pick the 6.98-inch for tote bag fronts or cushion covers, use the 3-inch for pocket accents on shirts or jacket lapels. Avoid stiff denim at the big size, the low density underlay on the leaf fill needs a fabric that yields a bit. Tearaway stabiliser works fine on woven cotton and canvas.

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.
