Its an outline of a little meadow scene, stems and petals drawn in running stitch with no fill behind them. Very minimal, very clean, the kind of design that looks like someone sketched it onto the fabric. Single colour thread, no changes, which keeps the setup fast. Three sizes only here: small at 3.08 by 6 inches, mid at around 3.5 by 7, and the largest at 4.1 by 8 inches.
Density sits at 175 which is about as low as it gets, so this stitches out in under ten minutes even on the largest size. The stitch range is 4,766 to 5,748 stitches total. A tearaway stabiliser is genuinely all you need for this, no cutaway because the density is so light the fabric barely notices. Hooped on a medium cotton or linen the botanical outline holds shape without pulling. Dont overthink the stabiliser choice on this one.
And the single colour thing is really underrated here. I stitched mine in terracotta on cream linen and a customer I know stitched hers in navy on a white shirt sleeve and both versions read completley differently. Because theres no fill areas to worry about the running stitch lines stay crisp even on slightly textured fabrics. I got a message last week from a repeat buyer who does these on muslin tote bags in bulk for a market stall and says it runs so fast she does 8 in a sitting.
Works nicely on shirt fronts, pocket squares, linen pouches, and fabric labels. Stitch the smallest on a corner of a handkerchief or napkin for a delicate finishing touch on cotton or linen.

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.
