This floral book design uses 6 colours and every single one earns its place. The open book at the base is done in black with white page lines, very clean, no fuss. Up from the spine comes a meadow mix: a yellow daisy with an orange centre sitting tallest, two orange gerbera-style heads flanking it, then smaller pink wildflowers on the outer edges and fern-like dark green foliage running wide across the lot. It reads like a little garden just decided to grow out of a paperback.
The flower style is round and uncomplicated. No tight satin columns on the petals, just clean filled circles and ovals with black outline edges. Thats what gives it the folk-art feel rather than the formal botanical look. 6 colour changes, 5 stops, well within what most home machines handle without grumbling. Seven sizes, smallest at 2.62 inch wide and 4 inch tall, biggest at 6.54 inches wide and 10 inches tall. Around 13k stitches at the small end up to 32k at the largest. Suprisingly quick to stitch out given how busy the finished piece looks.
I made this one because I kept suprising myself with how often people ask for bookish designs that dont look dark or serious. Not everyone reading is a gothic academic type. My sister who runs a childrens poetry workshop ordered this last spring for tote bags she gives out at her sessions, she said the yellow daisy is the bit the kids always point at first. Text. me if the files dont open in your software and I can check which format works for your machine.
Run it on a white, cream or pale sage cotton for cleanest colour. The yellow bloom in particular needs a pale ground or it goes muddy. Hoop on tearaway stabiliser for woven cotton or canvas, the fill density is moderate at around 497 average so its not aggressive, but you still want support. Pick the bigger sizes for bags and the 4-inch height for small pocket placements on shirts or aprons.

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.
