After my customer in vermont asked for somethin she could put on her fall market table runners, I drew this maple leaf back in september. Most maple leaf designs online go too symmetrical and flat. So I leaned into the asymmetric lobe shape and added a shadow tone to give the leaf some lift off the fabric. Density runs on the heavier side which holds the fill solid.
Stitch counts span 5611 to 26848 across 5 sizes. Widths run 2 to 6.01 inches with heights matching close at 2.02 to 6.11 inches. Two colours: warm orange body, darker rust shadow. Density at 731 spi which keeps the fill crisp and the vein lines readable. use a cutaway under stretch fabrics, tearaway for woven items like linen runners aswell as canvas totes. Hoop firm and skip topping unless youre on terry or fleece. Its the kind of design that wont fight ya on prep. cream linen pairs well best with the colour range. Heres why I include the smaller sizes in the pack.
Customers been usin it on fall throw pillow covers, on tea towels, occured to me also that it works on canvas tote panels for thanksgiving. One customer ordered the 2 inch size for napkin corners last november for her dinner party. Worked recieved well from her guests apparently.
Stitch the orange body first then the rust shadow on top. the leaf veins stitch last so they sit cleanly without distorting under the fill, hoop with the seam allowance pinned outside the frame on stretch fabrics. The 6.01 inch version fills a pillow centre nicely and the 2 inch size sits clean on napkin corners or small detail spots.

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.
