The centre of this design is a big bold I AM in thick orange-red script lettering, and the whole rest of the piece fans out from those two words like a sunburst. Affirmation words radiate outward in curved arcs, Fearless, Fierce, Strong, Capable, Powerful up the top arc and Mighty, Courageous, Resilient, Valuable, Brave across the right. Then the lower half wraps around with words like Worthy, Driven, Successful, Resourceful, Motivated. And they alternate between warm amber-orange and bright cobalt blue as they fan around the circle, so each word feels distinct even when you step back and see it as one piece.
The I AM lettering has a soft shadow stacked behind it that gives it that puffy dimensional look, almost like a varsity letter effect. Its not flat, it comes forward. The surrounding words are smaller but still thick filled satin stitch, not outline. Thats what pushes the stitch count up, the biggest size runs around 42,800 stitches, the smallest just over 22,000. Three colours total, 2 color changes per run.
Last spring a customer put the 8 inch version on the back panel of a motivational journal cover and sent me a photo, it looked like something youd pay a lot for in a gift shop. Use white or pale grey fabric so those orange and blue threads really pop, mid tones muffle the blue especially. Go with cutaway on a cotton-linen blend to keep the dense fill flat, and add a woven fusible underneath the base layer on stretchy fabric to stop it shifting during dense passes. Skip dark backgrounds entirely, the orange reads muddy against anything deeper than mid grey.
Six sizes from around 5 inch up to just over 9 inch wide. Runs on any standard embroidery machine that handles 3 thread colours with two swaps mid-run.

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.
