Most pumpkin designs are either plain carved jack-o-lantern style or simple solid fill, this ones different because the pumpkin itself becomes the frame for a botanical arrangement. Eighteen thousand and two stitches in seven colours at 3.51 inches wide, digitised in Wilcom using a combination of satin and directional fill to separate the blooms from the leaves from the gourd shape underneath. The density sits at 245 which isnt overly dense, comfortable for most medium-weight fabrics without stiffening the finished piece.
I get messages every autumn from people looking for a halloween pumpkin design that doesnt read as spooky, and this is the one I point them to. It works better on natural or cream fabric than on white, because the warm orange and dusty pink colour palette reads richer against an off-white background. Add a medium cutaway stabiliser on canvas or twill, theres no real reason to use tearaway on canvas at this stitch count. On linen tearaway works fine if you hoop it really taut and the fill density isnt high enough to pull it out of register.
Use it on pillow covers, tote bags, table runners, aprons, or fabric art panels. The near-square proportions at 3.51 by 3.24 inches work well centred on most items. Avoid polyester blends, the botanical illustration style reads best on natural fibres where the satin sheen of the floral accents actually shows. For a really clean result on linen stitch the leaves and vines first, then the gourd fill, then the blooms on top so any slight registration shift hides under the upper layers naturally.

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.
