Built as a round-canopied tree where every leaf spot holds a family word instead of foliage. The canopy packs dense with relation names in a range of lettering styles: MOMMY and FATHER in big block caps, uncle and sister in smaller script, Grandpa and Grandma curved along the upper edge, and right in the middle a hand-lettered phrase that reads I love my family. Small hearts dot the gaps. Two isolated hearts sit at the base beside the trunk roots. The whole thing stitches in a single red thread, no colour changes, just one long continuous satin and fill run that ends up between 23,758 stitches at smallest and 48,323 at the 10 inch wide size.
A friend of mine stitched the 8 inch version last summer on a cream cotton canvas cushion cover for a family reunion gift. She said the density, 541 stitches per square inch, makes it feel almost like a woven patch when you run your finger across it. Thats a lot of thread mass for a single-colour design but it holds together cleanly because the word layout avoids underlay collisions between the different text paths.
Run a layer of medium-weight cutaway under any home decor fabric before hooping, at this stitch density the fabric gets heavy and a light stabiliser wont hold. Iron-on cutaway works well for cushion panels and canvas totes. On thin quilting cotton use two layers of cutaway or the whole canopy area curls up at the edges after washing. Hoop snug and check the canopy centres in your hoop before starting, the round shape makes any off-centre hooping obvious when its done.
Stitch on cream, oat, soft white, ecru, or natural linen for the classic look. Dark navy or forest green with a red thread makes a striking alternative colourway. Skip patterned fabric, the word detail gets completely lost. Plain fabric lets all the letter size variation do the work.
Dm me the size you want and your machine brand before ordering if youre unsure which size fits your hoop, I can check the exact dimensions in the file for you before you commit.

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.
