The concept here is simple and it works because of that: a tree shape where every leaf is actually a small heart. Stand back and you see a tree. Get close and you realise the whole canopy is packed with individual scarlet hearts. Short chocolate brown trunk at the base, clean negative space between the hearts so none of them merge together. One colour, 487 density, 1 thread change. Because its single-colour the whole thing stitches fast for what those stitch counts suggest.
Six sizes from 2.44 inches wide up to 7.31 inches wide, height going from 2.5 to 7.5 on the largest. Stitch counts run 8,601 on the smallest to 26,703 at the top. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio gave me the main challenge of keeping the individual heart shapes readable at the 2.44-inch size without the satin sections collapsing into one another -- the underlay sequencing handles that. Hoop on medium cutaway stabiliser. Add a light water-soluble topping on knit fabric so the heart fill sits proud. Avoid tearaway on linen -- it pulls the small heart shapes out of alignment.
This one gets used for weddings alot, typically on kraft canvas tote favour bags or the corner of a natural linen table runner. But I also see it used for valentines day pieces, anniversary hoop art, and mothers day gifts equally -- its one of those designs that isnt locked to one occasion. Stitch the 5-inch on a kraft tote with scarlet thread and it photographs brilliantly -- the red on that warm natural fabric is exactly right and youll see why as soon as its off the machine. One customer had it stitched on a set of linen napkins for a february wedding table -- the 3-inch version at the corner fitted without crowding the edge, and they told me its still the piece guests ask about most.

- Bridal shower table linen accentsCorner of a natural linen tablecloth or table runner in 3-inch version repeated at each corner for a bridal shower table setup.

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.
