The deer faces forward, full antlers spread wide, and right where the two sides meet there's a small butterfly perched on a thin branch. The face has that dense, cross-hatched look you get from close-packed satin stitches, with the fur texture worked in directional fill to give it real depth. And across the forehead, tucked just above the eyes, a cluster of daisy-type flowers with round centres and flat petals sits like a botanical crown. Its a nature design that actually looks like it was drawn by hand, not generated.
I get a lot of orders for this one in autumn. Last October a customer wrote me after running it on a whole set of linen throw pillows for a hunting cabin -- she sent photos and they looked genuinely gorgeous. The single-color approach means you dont need a thread change mid-stitch, so its one of those designs that's easier to run than it looks. Stitch count goes from around 20,371 up to 35,707 at the 9-inch size. Hoop a stable polymesh on anything stretchy, and medium-weight tearaway works fine on stable fabrics like canvas or denim.
Run it at the 5-inch width for a jacket chest or hooded sweatshirt. Take it up to 9 inches for a centrepiece pillow. Use a topping film on fluffy or textured fabrics to stop the satin stitches sinking into the weave. Skip dark backgrounds unless you're running a white or cream thread -- the botanical detail really needs contrast to read well. And if you get a file that wont open, hit me up and I'll sort it same day.

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.
