Pulled together this orange flower as a kinda modern take on the classic floral, nothing fussy about it. The petals are wide and flat, almost geometric, radiating out from a solid round centre like someone drew it with a ruler and compass rather than freehand. Its got that graphic poster art quality where it looks like a design, not just a pretty flower.
3 colours only: burnt orange for the petals, a deeper rust at the bases where the petals meet the centre, and a warm cream disc in the middle. Density on this one is 576 which is on the higher side for the style, so the petals have a proper solid fill rather than looking flat or washed out. Stitch range goes from 6,986 up to 19,634 stitches depending on size. Honestly its more thread than you'd expect for a 3-colour design but thats the density doing its job.
Send it to any plain fabric and itll land well. Navy, white, charcoal, sage, mustard, most solid colours work with orange. Back woven cotton and canvas with tearaway, those fabrics dont need anything heavier. Use cutaway for any stretch jersey or knit because the satin-fill sections at full density will pull on loose weaves. Skip thin silky fabrics on the bigger sizes, the fill density can cause puckering without proper support underneath.
I got a message last summer from a customer who put the large size on a natural linen cushion cover. She sent the photo and it looked genuinely striking, the contrast with the raw linen texture was something. People are customising the thread colour too, some are stitching it in coral, some in teal. Pop the flat-petal shape into practically any bold colour and it works.
Comes in 5 sizes, 3.51 inches up to 7.51 inches wide. Go with the largest for cushion fronts and tote bags. Pick a medium size for tee chests or denim jacket backs. Avoid busy patterned fabrics because the geometric petal shape wants a clean background to read properly.
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.
- Linen cushion coversThe large size centred on a natural linen cushion cover makes a bold living room accent that looks shop-bought.
- Canvas tote bagsOn a plain canvas tote the orange flower reads as a graphic art piece rather than a craft project, great for markets.
- Plain cotton tee shirtsA medium size on the left chest of a navy or white cotton tee is the kind of wearable botanical people compliment.
- Denim jacket back panelsThe large version on the back panel of a denim jacket is a real statement, especially stitched in coral or teal.
- Tea towelsStitched in the corner or along the hem of a white cotton tea towel it lifts a kitchen gift set nicely.

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.
