A holiday quote built into a decorative block layout, with a small christmas tree and a heart tucked into the lettering. Three colours keep it clean: forest green for the tree element, deep red carrying most of the quote text, and cream white as the background that the whole thing breathes against. The letterforms sit tightly composed, no loose spacing, the kind of typography that reads at a glance without needing to squint.
Five sizes in the file, the smallest at 3.51 by 3.07 inches and the largest at 7.51 by 6.57 inches. Stitch count climbs from 12,581 at the small end up to 27,740 at the full size. Only 3 colour changes across the whole design so if youre doing a production run of these on white cotton shirts or cream linen cushions, the thread swaps are minimal and youll move fast. Wilcom digitised the satin letterforms with proper density control so the text doesnt look spongy or uneven when it comes off the machine.
I designed this one for the people who want something heartfelt on a christmas gift but dont want a scene, just words and a small symbol. Dm me if you need a custom wording swap and I can quote you a small fee for redigitising. Last advent a customer wanted the largest hoop, she had it stitched on 8 cream pillowcases last december for her family and gave them out wrapped in tissue paper. She said every single person thought they were shop-bought.
Best on cream or white cotton or linen for the maximum quote contrast. Avoid busy fabric because the text gets lost fast. Use cutaway stabiliser underneath at the larger sizes, the letterforms need a firm base to keep sharp edges. Hoop with medium-weight water-soluble topping on fleece or terry if youre going that route. Skip the smallest size if your machine struggles with dense lettering under 3.5 inches, the text detail needs room to breathe. Run the 5-inch version on a cream flannel for a cozy gift that doesnt look generic.
All machine formats included in the zip. If the text isnt reading right on your fabric, message me and Ill help you troubleshoot.

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.
