Mocked up this truck design back in early october and it keeps being one of the ones people come back for every fall. Its a vintage pickup, the kind with rounded fenders and white wall tyres, done entirely in solid matte black thread. The truck bed has 2 orange jack-o-lanterns sitting in it, grinning faces carved in and a lil ghost peeking out between them. A witch hat sits propped up in the cab window area. Bats and 4-pointed stars scattered up top give it that spooky night feel without making it too busy.
3 colours: dark green for the tiny leaf stems on the pumpkins, orange for the jack-o-lanterns, black for everything else. Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, Tajima format. 5 sizes from 2.41 inch wide up to 5.17 inch wide, heights 3.51 to 7.51 inch. At the small end its 9,958 stitches, at the big end 25,759. The truck body is heavy filled black so you do want a good quality cutaway stabiliser underneath, dont skimp there or youll get distortion on the side panels. 34 trims total in the middle size.
One customer ordered this for a halloween canvas banner three years running and she send me a photo every time. Use the 5-inch for banners and pillow fronts, hoop the 3-inch for tea towels and smaller items. Pair it with a burlap or natural linen base and the matte black truck reads really well against the natural fibre texture. Avoid tearaway on that dense black satin area, the density needs proper cutaway support underneath or the fills will pucker.

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.
