Shamrocks arranged in the shape of a heart. Not a solid filled heart, the outline of one built from individual clover elements packed side by side all the way around the perimeter. Big shamrocks on the left side and along the bottom, smaller ones filling in the top arc and the right side. The center is open. And sitting inside the lower right arc of the heart the word Lucky is written in flowing black cursive script, tucked in like a signature.
Two colour changes. Green thread loads first and builds every shamrock around the heart frame, then black thread loads for the Lucky script. Stitch counts run from 12,478 on the smallest 4.18-inch size up to 21,663 on the 6.97-inch version. Four sizes total. Density is 414 per square centimetre, firm enough the shamrock fills come out solid but not so heavy the piece goes stiff on woven linen.
Thats the most useful bit, the open center. Plain fabric shows through the middle. Embroider a name or monogram inside afterward, or leave it empty and it reads as a decorative frame on its own. I use this one a lot for customers who want something with an Irish feel that doesnt look cheap or seasonal. A customer ordered a dozen of the 5-inch size last march on cream linen cushion covers for an Irish-themed hen party. She sent photos and the whole set looked like proper heritage craft work rather than seasonal novelty stuff.
Medium cutaway stabiliser on woven linen and cotton twill. Tear-away on canvas. Plain white or cream works best here because the hollow middle shows whatever fabric sits underneath. Busy or textured backings pull attention away from the clover detail at the frame edges. Hoop firm with consistent tension, the smaller clovers along the upper curve need a stable base or the leaf fills get ragged edges.
Dm me if the file doesnt open in your software and Ill swap a thread shade or resend in a different format.

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.
