A heart shape made out of shamrocks, each leaf distinct, packed together into the heart silhouette. Its a really satisfying design when it comes off the machine because the individual shamrock leaves give the heart shape this textured, almost quilted look. Five thread colours, mostly in the green range with some lighter and darker accent tones to give depth. Six sizes from 2.79 by 3 inches up to 5.12 by 5.5 inches.
Density at 789 means this wants a proper stabiliser behind it. I always hooped this on medium cutaway when I was testing and the shamrock leaf outlines stayed crisp without any puckering. The satin sections on the individual leaves use directional fill going in alternate directions so the heart reads as three-dimensional. Stitch count is 7,842 at the small end and 22,219 on the largest. Thats a decent run time on the bigger sizes but the result is worth it.
I sold alot of these around March last year to customers making St Patricks Day aprons and tote bags. One customer got in touch to say her kid insisted on wearing the shirt she stitched it on for a full week after st paddys day. Its got that kind of stickiness. Use it on light or mid-green base fabrics for a tone-on-tone Irish look, or stitch on white cotton where the 5 colours really separate out. Avoid dark forest green as the base because some of the lighter thread colours will disappear against it.
Works well on aprons, holiday tote bags, shirts, and fabric gift bags stitched on cotton or linen with firm cutaway backing.

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.
