Mocked this up for the cottagecore and outdoor crowd and it took a while to get right because the scene inside the mushroom cap has a lot going on. The whole thing is shaped like a classic tall mushroom, stem at the bottom and a wide rounded cap at the top, but the inside of that cap is a full mountain landscape, pine trees in the foreground, a craggy peak behind them, three birds in flight at the very top of the inner scene. Then botanical flowers break out of the left edge and the lower right of the cap, like the plants are growing through the mushroom shape. It shouldnt work on paper but it does.
Single colour, which sounds simple but at density 894 and 34,872 stitches at the 7-inch size this is one of the most stitching-intensive single-colour designs in our collection. The smallest is 4 inches wide, 3.18 tall, 19,534 stitches, so even the smallest size is substantial. 4 sizes total, widths 4 to 7 inches, heights 3.18 to 5.57 inches. You absolutely need cutaway stabiliser here, not tearaway, because the density is high enough that the fabric will pull and distort if the hooped piece can move at all mid-stitch. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio manages the underlay in layers so the satin on the mountain fill doesnt push through to the flower outline areas, which is what collapses lesser files in this kind of layered silhouette work.
Best on a medium-weight natural canvas or linen in black thread. I get messages from cottagecore and hiking shops asking about this one, last summer a small outdoor gear brand ran it on a whole batch of canvas totes for a trail event. The negative space inside the scene reads as white without any white thread which keeps the colours clean. Pop this on a hiking-themed tote or a cottagecore cushion cover for the bedroom, both work. Run a topping on the fabric if its got any texture or the fine lines in the pine trees will sink. Use a slow stitch speed on the dense mountain fill section, about 600 SPM, to keep the needle from heating the thread.

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.
