Heres the floral rainbow and its a soft little boho moment. The arch in the middle is built out of fat satin bands. Top to bottom you got dusty purple, powder blue, buttery yellow, then a blush pink ring at the inside. Around the rainbow theres lavender tulip stems with little bell-shaped buds bowing inward. A few deep indigo blooms tuck in for contrast. Real nursery-shelf energy.
And the way the stems wrap around aswell, it kinda feels like the rainbow is sitting in a tiny garden basket. The leaves are slim, almost like blade strokes, done in directional stitching so they read leaf-like and not just flat slabs. The tulip heads sit on stem-stitch lines that bend with the arc. I kept the stitch density on the rainbow bands chunky on purpose, you want those satin columns to catch light.
I built this for a friend whos digitising a baby girls nursery makeover last summer. She asked for something cleaner than the typical primary-colour rainbow. So I went pastel, kept it gentle, threw the floral frame around it. After pride month rolled by a kids boutique kept ordering the rainbow on cotton hair scrunchie tags. One customer ordered atleast four sizes for a baby shower banner.
Best results show on a soft white cotton or pale sage canvas, oatmeal weave reads gentle too. Avoid busy florals or bold gingham aswell, the soft purple and blue palette gets eaten alive on patterned ground. Set the smaller 3.5-inch on a babys bib pocket. Pair the biggest 7.5-inch on a square pillow front or a 8-inch wooden hoop for the wall.
Densest patches are those satin arch ribbons and the deep indigo flower fills, so back it with cutaway stabiliser firmly hooped. Hoop tight, run the machine abit slower on the satin column rows so the colours dont bleed into each other. But honestly the file behaves once you drop the speed during the colour swaps. Holler on chat with your colour swap notes and ill update the palette.

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.
