The word MOM spelled out in big bold black satin letters and the O in the middle swapped for a full sunflower. Big golden yellow petals radiating all the way round, rust-brown seed centre with that classic textured circle look. The 2 black M letters sit solid on either side and the sunflower just blooms right out from between em. Its a simple idea but it lands every time, honestly.
I digitised this in Wilcom and spent a fair bit of time on the petal direction stitching. Real sunflowers have that overlapping layered quality and I wanted the embroidery to have some of that too. The petals run in radiating satin columns so they catch the light differently depending on which direction ya look at em. Three colours total, just black, yellow and that warm rust tone for the centre.
Mothers day is the obvious moment for this one but honestly its a year-round seller. My mum saw this design last spring and she immediately wanted it on a linen tea towel and a tote for her friend who runs a flower stall. A customer from a mothers day florist shop grabbed a bunch of these last may for gift wrapping pouches. Nine sizes starting at 3.49 inches tall up to 7.49 inches, 7k stitches on the smallest up to 23k on the biggest.
Stitch on black cotton for a dramatic look where the yellow pops hard, or go with cream linen if youre after something softer. Pop the smaller sizes on card-holder pouches, tea towels, apron pockets. Run the bigger versions on tote fronts or cushion covers. Use a tear-away stabiliser on woven cotton or linen, switch to cutaway if youre working on jersey or stretchy canvas.

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.
