I made this growth quote design last february and it became one of the popular ones in the shop honestly faster than I expected. The lettering winds vertically with eleven colour stops for the foliage, daisies, and warm taupe letter fill. Stitch counts range from 1012 on the lil 2.66 inch version up to 53118 on the 5.71 inch wide one.
Density sits at 1240 which is on the higher side, so I wouldnt recommend it on stretchy knits without a proper cutaway behind. For tote bags, linen, or a cotton kitchen towel you can use a lighter tearaway and it'll hold fine. The taupe letters use a satin column with fill underlay so the script keeps that clean edge. Eleven colour changes sounds like a lot but ya can drop a few of the leaf greens if you want a simpler look. The daisies need their yellow centre to read as daisies though. A layer that catches buyers off guard. Notes that took years to settle on. Thats the layer thats a surprise once stitched. Heres what Ive learnt over the years.
And the tallest size hits 7.5 inches high which works great on towel borders or a centre back jacket. One customer ordered this on a denim shacket last spring with the colours shifted to all sage and cream and it turned out really really nice. Use the smaller 4 inch version for left chest. Drop me on chat when your software flags any of the eleven thread stops and I can resend with the colour sequence list cleaned up.

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.
