The quote runs top to bottom in chunky block capitals, stacked one line at a time so it reads like a trail sign or a carved marker post. "And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul." To the left of the text theres a tall pine tree, full silhouette, the kind with layers of branches tapering up to a sharp point. Dark green thread on the tree, black thread on the text. 2 colour changes, 1 stop to swap threads. Honestly thats it. Clean, direct, nothing fussy about it.
Four sizes from 3.50 x 2.90 inches up to 6.50 x 5.37 inches. Stitch counts run from 10,665 on the smallest to 20,189 on the largest. The pine tree fill uses directional stitching so the branches dont just flatten out, they follow the taper from trunk to tip. Density sits at 578 which is reasonable for woven canvas and twill without needing to slow the machine down much. Wilcom laid this one out cleanly, 43 trims on the small size and 50 on the large, so theres not a bunch of jumps cutting through the finished piece.
Backpackers and hikers buy this one a bunch. My sister grabbed it last spring for a camping trip hoodie and she said people kept stopping her on the trail to ask where she got it. I also get orders from outdoor retail shops and hiking club organisers who want it on staff fleece or member anniversary gifts. A customer in the pacific northwest ordered nine copies on grey canvas tote bags for a trail running group meetup in october.
Pick a dark olive green or charcoal grey ground and swap the thread colours to cream and sage for a vintage feel. Or stitch it straight black and green on natural linen for the cleanest read. Use a tearaway stabiliser on woven fabrics like canvas, denim or twill. Avoid stretchy knits here because the stacked vertical text needs a stable base to stay true. Hoop straight or the quote lines will look crooked.
Ping me if something stitches out of alignment on your machine and Ill check the file and sort it 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.
