Pulled this layout together after a customer asked me for something kitchen-related that still felt like it belonged on the wall, not just a tea towel. The house outline is drawn in a thin black running stitch, just the roofline and chimney, and the whole quote sits inside it. The lettering alternates between heavy black satin caps and small red cursive lines. Four small red heart outlines sit at the corners of the text block, placed symmetrically so it reads as a proper composition.
Two colour changes only, black and red, which makes setup fast. The heaviest sections are the satin caps on the word kitchen, heart and home. Pop a cutaway stabiliser under your fabric for those, especially if youre stitching on linen or canvas. 5 sizes available from 3.5 inches up to 7.5 inches wide. Stitch counts go from about 7,400 up to just over 16,200 so its a manageable mid-range complexity design.
Message me if the download gives you any trouble and Ill fix it same day.
I use this a lot in kitchen-themed gifting sets. My mum has one stitched on her pantry curtain and Ive had more people ask her where she got it than almost any other piece I make. Works beautifully on linen, cotton twill and cream canvas. Skip white-on-white fabric, the black outline really needs contrast to show the house structure. Use the 5 inch size for aprons, go bigger for framed pieces and wall art.

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.
