Circular wreath of botanical line-art apple blossoms and pointed leaves wrapping the outside, with a single detailed bee centred in the middle, wings spread, stripes outlined. Single colour black running stitch with a few tiny solid fills only on the petal centres and the bees abdomen stripes. The rests pure outline. Stitch counts run light, thats 5,615 on the smallest 3.43-inch up to 10,031 on the largest 7.36-inch. Densitys 182, properly minimal.
And the constructions really simple, no colour changes at all on this design, just one black thread and one bobbin. The whole 7-inch sizes gonna run on a home machine in about 8 minutes flat. I digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with run-stitch on every outline plus directional fill underlay only on the flower centres and bee body, keeping the wreaths line weights consistent.
A customer messaged me last spring saying she stitched the 5.39-inch on a pale linen tea towel for a kitchen-warming gift, paired with a small jar of local honey, and the recipient asked her to make a set of six. Said the line art held up beautifully through three machine washes, no fraying on the bee wings.
But avoid stretchy knit fabrics unless youre using a polymesh cutaway, the long single-thread runs need stable ground. Hoop on light tearaway under linen, no-show mesh on cotton tees. Pop the 3.43-inch on a left-chest pocket. Stitch the 5.50-inch on a tote face. Run the 7.36-inch dead-centre across a 16-inch linen cushion. Best on white, cream, oatmeal, sage, pale blue, or soft butter yellow. So the black thread reads sharp against alot of light fabrics, thats the rule of thumb.

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.
