Long stacked quote that reads top to bottom as a complete joke. Homemade up top in flowing red cursive alongside a small red heart and a decorative red flourish swirl. With Love on line two in black brush script. In other words sits on line three in red beside a tiny red spoon icon. Then I LICKED in chunky black uppercase blocks with another small black heart. The spoon comes next in big red brush cursive, taking the most visual weight. And kept using it anchors the bottom in matching black script. Six lines total, alternating between the two colours for visual rhythm.
2 colours total, red and black, but its a stitch-dense piece cause of all the lettering. Stitch range runs 12,291 at the smallest 4.01-inch tall up to 22,000 at the largest 8.01-inch. Density at 446 stitches per square inch is medium-heavy which is what the dense block letters need to fill solid. Ive digitised this in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with horizontal directional satin on the I LICKED block and curved satin paths on the cursive script lines so theyre smooth through the swoops. The tiny heart and spoon icons run as small fill shapes with light underlay.
One customer messaged me back in march and told me she was making a tea towel for her mum's 70th birthday cause her mum is famous in the family for sneaking spoonfuls of every cake mix she touches. She did the 5-inch size on a flour-sack tea towel in the standard two-tone colourway, and said her mum laughed for a good five minutes before hanging it on the kitchen rail. Worked perfect on the loose-weave flour-sack cotton, just needed a layer of medium tearaway underneath to keep everything aligned.
Best on woven flour-sack towels, linen kitchen drying cloths, canvas aprons, cotton oven mitts, or quilting cotton wall panels. Add medium-weight cutaway for woven kitchen towels and topping for terry-cloth pile fabrics. Skip stretchy lightweight jersey cause the long multi-line quote needs a stable surface for line registration. But if youre absolutely stuck with jersey, hoop it tight and dont stretch as you load. The 4-inch fits a tea towel corner, the 6-inch fills the chest of an apron, the 7 or 8-inch makes a great quilted wall panel. Stitch order runs all the black sections first then the red overlays last so the bright red sits clean on top.

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.
