Its a cluster of snowflakes hanging like sky-blue ornaments on invisible threads. Each snowflake has these thick botanical arms that branch out into smaller fern-like shapes -- the detail is really dense for a 1-color design. There's one color in the whole thing, a sky blue, and the layering of those petal arms is what gives it depth on fabric. I've had this one hooped on white terry cloth for Christmas hand towels and it reads clearly even at the 3.5-inch size.
The stitching runs dense on the fill areas -- around 571 stitches per square inch average. And because its all one thread you dont have to worry about color changes mid-run. Just load the blue, hit start, walk away. The vertical hanging lines between the flakes are done in fine running stitch so your machine barely notices them. Big stitch detail is mostly in the snowflake arms themselves which use a tight fill.
I get messages every november about this design for winter kitchen sets. But I get orders from folks doing holiday stockings, fleece blankets, and linen table runners too. Stitch onto a firm woven fabric or a stabilised knit -- the design's got enough fine detail that a loose weave can swallow some of those branching arm tips. Pop it on white cotton first if youre not sure how your fabric handles dense single-color fills. Skip very stretchy jersey without a firm cutaway underneath. Use a topping layer on terry towels to stop the loop pile from poking through the running stitch lines.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Christmas stockings with a blue-and-white colour themeThe sky-blue single-color thread pops on white or cream cotton stocking fabric without needing color matching.
- Holiday hand towels and kitchen linensWorks great on white terry towels -- the dense snowflake fill stitches hold up through repeated washing.
- Winter-themed tote bags and market bagsCanvas tote bags in natural or white take the detail well; the blue reads bright even on heavier fabric.
- Fleece blankets and throw pillow coversFleece needs a light cutaway backing to keep the fill areas from tunneling, but the result is really clean.
- Gift wrap embellishments and fabric gift bagsStitch onto felt squares, back with cardstock, and use as ornament-shaped gift tags or package toppers.
- Seasonal table runners and placematsLinen table runners in white or ivory show off the botanical arm detail nicely at the larger 7-inch size.
- Kids' winter hats and scarvesUse the 3.5-inch size on a knit beanie with a water-soluble topping to keep the arms crisp.

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.
