Six-line stacked humour quote that builds the joke top to bottom. Kitchen kicks off in chunky black uppercase blocks across the top, with a small orange spoon icon tucked underneath. Open daily comes next in flowing orange script flanked by two tiny black star sparkle decorations. For Prompt sits below that in narrow black uppercase. Service takes the middle weight in bold orange handwritten cursive. Cook It follows in chunky black caps flanked by two small black pot icons sitting on either side like little bookends. And finally Yourself anchors the bottom in swooping orange brush script that flares out toward the corners. Punchline delivery.
2 colours, black and orange, but it runs heavy on stitch count because of all the lettering. 6 sizes ship in the bundle. Stitch range goes from 9,405 at the smallest 3.01-inch tall up to 26,491 at the largest 8.01-inch. Density at 578 stitches per square inch is high which is what these long block-cursive combos need to fill solid without gaps. Ive digitised this in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with horizontal directional satin on all the uppercase blocks, curved satin paths on the brush cursive script lines, and a light running fill on the small spoon and pot icons so they read crisp at small sizes.
Saturday afternoon last summer I got a message from a customer who was making a sign for her mother-in-law's kitchen. Her mother-in-law had said for the tenth time that week that she wasnt running a restaurant. So the daughter-in-law ordered the 7-inch size, stitched it on a heavyweight cotton banner, and gave it to her at the next family dinner. Apparently the whole table cracked up and now its hanging on the kitchen wall right above the sink. Made my week reading that one back, honestly cant beat hearing how someone's actually using a design.
Stitch on heavyweight cotton canvas, linen wall hangings, flour-sack tea towels, chef aprons, or quilted cotton banners. Use medium cutaway stabiliser because the long multi-line quote needs registration support across all six rows. Hoop with topping if youre stitching on textured pile fabric like terry-cloth. Skip stretch knit and slick polyester, the line registration drifts on stretchy stuff and the satin density wont sit flat on slick fabrics. Pick the 5-inch or 6-inch for an apron front, the 7 or 8-inch for a wall banner, the 4-inch for a tea towel. Stitch order runs all the black caps first, then the orange script lines last so the bright overlays sit clean on top of any registration marks.

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.
