Pulled this together as a border that sits low and wide, the kind of thing that fills the bottom hem of a tote or runs along the cuff of a linen blouse without fighting for attention. Its a wildflower meadow scene in dark green: tall grasses, poppy-shaped blooms and fern sprigs all mixed together. No colour changes, no fuss. Alot of the charm comes from that mix of loose outline work at the top and denser satin-fill at the base where the stems cluster in.
4 sizes from 2.39 inches up to 3.98 inches wide, stitch counts running 5,715 to 8,924. Lay light cutaway beneath cotton drill and the result is clean with no puckering even at the wider size. For lighter fabrics like voile or thin linen, run a tearaway but add a topping to keep the satin leaf segments sharp. Avoid skipping the topping on loosely woven fabric or the outline sections will sink.
A customer grabbed the 2.39-inch version last spring for a set of cloth napkins she was making for a market stall. Said the low stitch density meant she could run 6 hoopings in an afternoon without the machine complaining. Thats the kind of practical thing I love hearing. And honestly its why I kept the design clean instead of loading it with fill.
Stitch it in white thread on cream linen for a tone-on-tone effect, the directional satin on the leaf sprigs catches the light nicely. Pick a thread with a tiny sheen for that. Hit me up if you need a different width or have any trouble with the download.

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.
