Worked on this design because I couldnt find a kitchen utensil piece that had a bit of a herbal garden vibe to it. Most of em are either very modern minimal or very rustic-country. This one sits in the middle, theres a horizontal shelf bar with the pastry brush, balloon whisk, spatula and rolling pin standing up behind it, and the handles dangle below through the shelf. Either side the herb sprigs and curling leaf vines spread out, its got a bit of that botanical illustration quality to it.
Five sizes from 2.23 inches wide up to 4.77 inches wide and 3.5 up to 7.5 inches tall. Stitch counts run from 7,693 at the smallest to 18,311 at the largest. Density is 512, which is good for the leaf detail areas, the topping on those small sprigs stays readable without getting too heavy. Use cutaway stabiliser on tea towels and linen, the hanging handles need a stable base. Hoop tight so they dont warp on the lower shelf area.
One customer this week chose the 4 inch size on a set of cream-coloured linen napkins and send me a message saying they looked better than anything shed seen in a kitchen homewares shop. Thats exactly what I was going for. Message me if you need help, send me message and Ill get back to you fast.

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.
