Two orange-gold bells side by side, tied together with a red ribbon bow, with candles above them and holly spreading out behind the whole arrangement. Its busier than a single bell design but everything has its place: the bells anchor the bottom, the bow and candles build upward, and the holly fills the background so theres no awkward dead space around the edges. The candle grey is a cool contrast against all the warm red and orange.
Sizes run from 2.50 in up to 5.49 in. The 2.50 in version is tight but the major shapes stay readable at that scale, its fine for small gift tags or the corner of a napkin. The 3.51 in and 4.50 in sizes are where this design really opens up and the candle detail stops looking compressed. Use topping film for stitching this on any pile fabric like fleece or velvet, the candle flames are thin and need a clean stitch path. Back with medium cutaway on anything stretchy.
This works on a winter-seasonal apron, a quilted table runner, or a wool stocking front. Stitch it on cream cotton fabric and frame it and youve got a piece that looks like a vintage christmas illustration. I had a customer order this specifically for framing last year, she stitched 4 of them on a linen panel in a row and hung the whole thing as a mantel swag.

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.
