Four hearts placed tip-to-tip so they sit like a four-leaf clover. Rotate one heart in each direction and you get that recognisable clover silhouette, except every petal is a heart. Its a simple idea thats really hard to not like. Single colour, no outlines, just flat solid fill. The whole shape reads cleanly from a metre away which is kind of the point with a design this compact.
Stitch count runs between 1715 and 2618 stitches across 4 sizes, smallest sitting at 1.76 inches wide and the largest at 2.51 inches. Because its single colour theres no colour-change pause mid-hoop, which is always nice. Run the whole thing in red for the classic valentine vibe or go hot pink, burgundy, or even sage green if you want that lucky-clover read instead.
Alot of people grab this one for St. Patricks day gifts done in green, which I didnt expect but it makes sense when you think about it. One customer last february stitched it on 30 matching cream linen pouches for a valentines market stall and sent me photos. Really small investment of time for something that looks that clean at the end.
Best on flat woven fabric. Linen, cotton twill, canvas tote. Pop it on a shirt pocket, centre of a pillow, or corner of a tea towel. Skip jersey or stretchy fabric because at this small size the satin fill needs a stable base. Use a tearaway stabiliser and hoop tight for the cleanest possible heart edges. And theres no complicated underlay needed here, its a simple fill so it stitches fast.

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.
