Big red and white spiral lollipop, holly leaves on both sides, yellow bow at the base. Three colors, done. Its one of those designs where the simplicity is the point, theres no extra detail cluttering it up, just the candy swirl, the leaves, and the bow, each element reading clearly even at the smallest size. The spiral is the kind of radiating swirl you see on old-fashioned hard candies and it stitches out in smooth satin layers without any drama.
Five sizes from 1.51 in up to 5.51 in, so theres real range here. Stitch the 1.51 in version on a gift tag, a small pouch zip pull, or a collar point. Use the 5.51 in size on a tote bag front or a sweater chest where you want it to be the main thing people notice. Only 3 colors and 2 color changes, so the machine barely stops, its a quick run time design. Back with medium cutaway on stretchy fabrics, tearaway works fine on woven cotton and linen.
I get alot of orders for this one around early december, people making kids christmas items mainly, dress bibs, stocking cuffs, fabric book covers for a holiday themed notebook. Scatter 3 or 4 of them at slight angles across a quilted panel and it looks like candy hanging on an invisible tree, works brilliantly as a repeating motif.

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.
