Just outlines. Thats the whole design and its honestly enough. A mum seen from the back, hair twisted into a bun, holding her baby up on her shoulder, and the baby turns its little face toward you as if looking for something. Four coral orange hearts float up above them in different sizes, the only real colour hit in the whole thing, done in open satin-stitch so they dont look pasted on. The black lines are directional, confident satin work with clean underlay and the density sits at 259 which is about right for this kind of continuous outline on cotton or linen canvas. Use cutaway stabiliser under anything with this much negative space. Hoop tight, keep bobbin tension even, and the satin lines stay crisp without any tatami fill competing for attention. Skip water-soluble topping alone on jersey because the outlines pull and you end up with distorted satin that no amount of pressing fixes. Add topping only on terry cloth where the pile really needs it. Five sizes from 2.59 to 5.54 inches wide, stitch counts from 5,203 to 10,767. A midwife I sell to regulary asked me last month about the 4 inch on a cream cotton pillowcase and yeah, it works perfectly, the scale just fits a standard sham without overcrowding. Two colours. Done.
Message me a photo if the bobbin thread shows on top.
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.

- Canvas tote bagTote bags take the 5 inch nicely, centred on the front panel so the hearts land near the top.
- Fleece baby blanket borderFleece blanket borders work at the 4 inch, stitch it twice near each corner for a finished nursery look.
- Denim jacket back panelDenim jacket backs can handle the full 5.54 inch, line art reads clean even at arm's length.
- Nursery hoop artA linen square hooped at the 3 inch size frames up as simple nursery wall art without extra fuss.

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.
