This is the half sunflower, sliced right down the middle so you get that nice profile view with all the petals fanning out to one side. The centre disk has that textured seeded look and the petals are done with directional stitching so they actually look like petals instead of just yellow triangles. Alot of detail packed into what sounds like a simple design.
4 colours total which means 4 thread swaps. The golden petals have a warmer ochre shade at the base where they meet the centre, which gives it real depth. The dark brown centre contrasts hard against the yellow and honestly its what makes the whole thing pop off fabric.
And I made it this way specifically because it tiles really well. Two of these facing each other make a full sunflower, but I find people use the half version more than you'd expect. Last summer a customer used it as a repeating border on a cream canvas apron and it looked brilliant.
Comes in 9 sizes, smallest is about 1.9 inches wide and the largest goes up to just over 4 inches. Stitch count runs from around 13,800 up to 34,400 for the biggest. Thats alot of thread, so use a cutaway stabiliser on anything stretchy and a medium tearaway on woven cotton or linen.
Best results on cream, oatmeal, navy or white fabric where those yellow tones can really sing. Hoop it snug and run slow on the centre density. Holler if the file throws an error and ill get a replacement to you same day.

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.
