What I like most about this one is the concept. Flowers growing out of paint brushes, like the brush itself is the stem. Its one of those ideas that sounds simple when you say it out loud but actually took alot of planning to pull off cleanly in thread. Three brushes, three different flowers: blue cornflowers on the left, big bold red poppies in the centre, and purple bellflowers on the right. Each one stitched with proper directional fill so the petals actually look curved and dimensional, not flat.
The brush handles are black and white satin columns with crisp underlay underneath so they sit sharp on fabric. Dont skip the cutaway stabiliser on this one, the density on those poppy petals runs high and a tearaway wont hold the shape right through washing. Hoop your linen or canvas taut, use a topping on any textured weave, and youll get clean edges through all that dense fill. Start with the smaller sizes on canvas tote so the brushes read clearly before you scale up to the full set. Add a bobbin thread that matches your fabric backing so the underside stays neat. Pop a single brush version centred on denim and it becomes a thing on its own. A maker I know stitched the cornflower brush on a cream cotton apron last week, then left me a review saying it looked like something from a proper gift shop.
Send me a quick note if you cant get the colours to match mine.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Canvas tote bagHonestly my favourite spot for this one is a natural canvas tote, the three brushes line up side by side like a little art collection.
- Artist apron pocketCentre a single brush on the chest pocket of an artist apron on cotton twill, looks proper professional.
- Linen throw pillowThe purple bellflower brush stitched alone on a cream linen pillow cover is kinda everything, honestly.
- Denim jacket back panelOn denim the black brush handles disappear into the weave perfectly, so the flowers are what pops.
- Framed hoop wall artA crafter I know used the cornflower version in an 8 inch hoop as wall art for her studio, messaged me saying it looked better in person than in the listing photos.
- Craft room tea towelAll three across a linen tea towel with a bit of space between each brush gives it that botanical print feel.
- Art teacher toteArt teachers have been buying this for personalised totes, the flowers-as-brushes thing just fits.

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.
