Ya this one is the sassy quote design that reads 'I Speak my mind Because it hurts to bite my Tongue' stacked across 7 lines. The fonts switch on every line so theres a real handlettered patchwork vibe. Teal blue serif up top, dusty pink cursive for 'my mind', then a leafy green chunky script reading 'Because', mustard yellow brush for 'it hurts', salmon pink for 'to bite my' and a deep burgundy flourish closing it on 'Tongue'. A bunch of lil yellow leaf accents float between the words too.
Honestly I love the colour mix on the piece. Its 7 threads total and most of em are in the warm pink-yellow-burgundy family with the teal as the cool anchor up top. The widest size goes 7.5 inches across at 24,104 stitches and the smallest sits at 2.33 inches tall around 11k stitches. So nine sizes total to pick from.
A bridesmaid pal of mine ordered eight of em for a hen-do weekend last spring, she wanted the quote on the matching tote bags. Another lass put it on a denim jacket back panel for her best friends birthday. So ya, real popular for the sassy-friend-group crowd.
Pop it onto a cream linen tote, a black raglan tee or an oat-coloured sweatshirt. Skip dark burgundy or deep teal cloth, the matching thread colours will vanish into the weave. Light neutrals let every line breathe.
Use a medium-weight cutaway, the script fonts have abit of pull and you dont want puckering on the longer letterforms. Ease your needle pace at every colour change, theres 6 stops in there. Drop me a line if a letter reads wrong and Ill sort the file out.

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.
