"This" sits small at the top in black slab-serif caps with a small heart outline on each side of it. Then "Kitchen" takes up a full wide line in that deep crimson brushscript, the letters tall and leaning forward, with the K having a long sweeping lead-in stroke. Below that, "is" sits inside a solid black circle, which is the visual anchor of the whole composition. Below the circle, "Seasoned" in black caps stretches across the line, then "With" smaller, and finally "Love" in the same crimson brushscript that mirrors the Kitchen line. At the very base theres a small black leaf-and-branch sprig centred underneath, the kind of botanical accent that completes the shape.
The circle around "is" isnt a common move in quote lettering. It draws the eye straight to the middle and breaks up what could otherwise be a flat text stack. I love that detail. The reds a true crimson, warm-toned, not a cool christmas red, which is why it doesnt read seasonal and works year-round on kitchen pieces.
Ive had this one stitched onto a few different things to test it, and it reads beautifully on a cream linen tea towel. Earlier this year a customer told me shed made it as a first-home gift and the recipient had it framed before she even thought about using it on fabric. Thats not surprising at all, the leaf sprig and the circle detail give it a finished quality that looks more like print art than a downloaded file.
Use woven cotton or tight-weave linen and back it with a tearaway stabiliser on firm fabric or a sew-in woven one on lighter linen. Stitch on white or cream so the red comes through at full strength. Send me a note if anything needs adjusting and ill sort it quickly.

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.
