Played with a folk-art approach here rather than a realistic tree. Five spruce silhouettes standing in a staggered row, tallest in the middle, shorter ones stepping down on both sides. Each tree is a flat fill in its own colour: bright green on the far left, then hot pink, then an olive-tan in the centre, then blush pink, then teal-aqua on the right. Black branch lines radiate out from each trunk in a fan pattern, same on every tree, which unifies the set even though the colours are completley different.
Every tree gets a gold satin star at the top, sharp five-pointed and the same size across all 5, which gives the eye a repeating anchor point. The text sits below the group in flowing green script, Merry and Bright in the same style as the hand-lettering version. Script is a lighter satin than the trees so the two elements dont fight for attention. Seven colours altogether: the 5 tree fills, gold for the stars, and a darker green for the script.
Biggest size is 7.5 by 6.53 inches, 56,514 stitches, density at 1,154 stitches per square inch. Thats a proper dense piece. Smallest is 3.5 by 3.05 inches at 22,139 stitches, still looks complete. A customer working on festive tees for her local market said she had to slow the machine right down on the large size or the stabiliser started to shift mid-hoop. She messaged me last november to say the teal-aqua tree was the one everyone kept pointing at. Worth mentioning for anyone who hasnt run a high-density piece before.
Best on a stable mid-weight fabric: thick cotton, canvas drill, felt or a non-stretch fleece. Use a medium to heavy cutaway and a topping layer of water-soluble film so the branch detail lines stay sharp. Skip the first colour stop if your machine keeps the frame, pull the bobbin thread up manually for a clean start on each tree. Tear-away wont hold on the larger size, the pull is too much.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Matching family sweatshirts for a December photoshootStitch the 6-inch on matching cream sweatshirts in three sizes, line the family up in front of the mantle, and you've got the photoshoot sorted without buying matching pyjamas
- Table runner panel for a seasonal dining spreadCentre the large version along a natural linen runner and set candles between the tree grouping and each place setting for a proper seasonal table
- Felt pennant banner for a kids' bedroom wallEmbroider the 5-inch onto a piece of thick navy felt, cut into a pennant shape, and hang a string of them across a kids bedroom wall as decor that stays up all month
- Canvas tote for wrapping gifts insideUse the medium on a cotton canvas bag, fold tissue paper over the top, tuck a gift inside and the bag becomes the wrapping
- Quilt block for a seasonal patchwork projectStitch five individual tree blocks in the separate sizes and piece them into a small seasonal quilt to fold over the arm of a reading chair
- Large cushion cover for a playroom sofaCentre the large version on a wide cushion cover in ivory or cream and prop it on a play room sofa where the bold colours actually work
- Bib apron front for a festive baking dayIron a cutaway to the bib of a canvas apron, stitch the 5-inch, and tie it on before the biscuit-icing session so at least something in the kitchen looks organised

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.
