The heart shape here is really just a frame. What fills it is a full botanical scene drawn in black line art, like somebody took a fine-tipped pen and sketched irises, daisies, a butterfly with its wings spread, a dragonfly, curling vines, and a tiny snail tucked down at the bottom. Its the kind of design where the more you look at it, new details keep showing up. I've had customers tell me they didnt notice the snail until the 3rd time they looked at the finished piece.
Single colour, 1 thread, no colour changes to deal with. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio layed out the running stitches and narrow satin columns to keep the line-art feel intact rather than filling everything solid. The density is moderate at 461 stitches per square inch, so the fabric shows through between the drawn lines the way it should. Use a stabiliser with some body to it, a woven cutaway works well here since there are alot of short directional stitches that need something firm underneath. Stitch on cream or natural linen to get that pen-drawing effect when its done.
4 sizes from 3.80 inches up to 7.51 inches tall. Stitch counts go from 14,109 to 21,932. The 6 inch version on a linen tote is where this one really shows off. A customer last autumn did the large size on cream linen and said it looked gallery-worthy. Ping us if the download link gives you trouble and we will get it sorted.

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.
