Single color, black. "Im a simple woman" in flowing cursive runs across the top, then four small line-drawn icons sit in a neat row underneath it, a steaming coffee cup, a paw print with a heart cutout inside, a pair of flip flops, and a wine glass. Each icon represents one of the simple things in the quote and they all read clearly even at the smallest size. Stitch count runs from 5,002 stitches at the 2.09-inch width up to 9,233 stitches at 3.65 inches wide, four sizes total, digitized in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio at a density of 361.
Put it on a kitchen towel or canvas tote and the icons are instantly recognizable without any labels. Use a tearaway stabilizer on woven fabrics like cotton or linen, the icon outlines are clean satin stitch so any puckering shows up immediately if the fabric shifts in the hoop. Stitch the whole thing in black on white, cream, or oatmeal canvas and it reads as a neat finished piece. Skip stretchy fabrics unless you've got a cutaway underneath or the cursive script'll distort when you unhoop it.
This one sells really consistently at gift shop tables year round because it covers so many people in one design, dog owners, coffee drinkers, beach goers, wine lovers. I get orders on this one most months without any seasonal push. One customer ordered it last June on a canvas tote for her mom who ticks all four boxes and said her mom uses the tote bag every single day now. The four-icon row is whats makes it feel personal even though its completely generic.
Four sizes included, all eight formats in the zip, ready for your embroidery software as soon as the download goes through.

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.
