This one is all about the typography contrast. The big words, 'Kitchen', 'heart' and 'home', are set in a chunky italic script with a calligraphic forward lean and tight letter spacing. Those run in red. The connector words between them switch to a blocky upright slab-serif in black, so your eye bounces between the two styles as it reads down the design. Its a bit like a poster layout from the 1960s but adapted for embroidery, and honestly it reads better stitched out than it looks in the preview.
Two small open-outline hearts float in the top-right corner, one larger and one smaller sitting just inside it. On the left edge a tall kitchen knife hangs vertically in solid black. On the right a slotted serving spoon mirrors it. The utensils dont crowd the text, they just frame it. The composition reads as a tall rectangle overall which works well on apron bibs or long vertical panels.
Two colours with one machine stop. Straightforward to run. The script sections use satin fill stitching on the italic strokes so keep your stabiliser flat and your hoop square or those diagonal strokes will pull. Last autumn a customer who runs a small apron business stitched this at seven inches on a linen apron front and told me it holds up perfectly after repeated washes. Thats the underlay doing its job. Hoop snug, go slow on the first test piece, and youll be fine after that. If anything looks off after your first run, message me and Ill sort it.
Works on most woven fabrics. Stitch on cream, white, pale grey or natural linen and the red and black sit at full contrast. Skip stretchy material for this one. The vertical height of the design means any give in the fabric will distort the letter spacing. Five sizes from four inches up to eight. Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio.

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.
