Six colours, 5 sizes, and the word BELIEVE with every letter pulling some kind of Christmas duty. The B is golden with a red Santa hat tipped sideways on top. The L got swapped out for an actual green Christmas tree with a red ribbon bow at the top of it. Last E grew a full set of reindeer antlers with that little red nose tucked underneath. Theres a blue snowflake on the first E and holly on the I. Somehow it doesnt look cluttered -- each icon sits right where it belongs and the gold letterforms tie the whole thing together.
A customer who runs a small home decor brand grabbed this for a holiday pillow cover run, the kind you swap in for December and pack away in January. Said her kids started checking every year to see if the reindeer E was still there. I love that, honestly its one of my favourite things anyone has told me about a design. Stitch it at two and a half inches wide on a natural canvas tote and it'll read perfectly from across a room.
Use a tearaway on stable wovens like quilting cotton or linen. Hoop with a cutaway if your fabric's got any give -- the stitch count reaches 13,647 at the top end and the tree section runs dense, so you need something firm behind it. Pop the needle size up to a 75/11 if you're going with a heavyweight fleece.

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.
