The mountain peak here isnt a cartoon shape. Its a proper topographic-looking rendering, the kind youd find on a vintage national park poster. The peak rises to a sharp point and the face fans out wide at the base, almost like a flattened pyramid. Deep forest green sits in the darker shadowed valleys, teal covers most of the body, and a pale yellow-green runs down the centre ridge and across the lower slopes where the light catches the terrain. White snow sits right at the very tip. Occured to me when I finished digitising it that it looks genuinely like you could run your finger along the contour lines.
Four colours total. The directional stitching runs in horizontal bands across the mountain face with each pass slightly angled to follow the slope, which gives the whole thing that raised topographic look. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio handles the underlay on this one and the result is a dense but stable stitch field. Stitch count runs from 4,735 on the smallest 1.14-inch size up to 21,852 on the 3.41-inch wide version. Ten sizes total, which honestly gives ya alot of flexibility for different project scales. Theres a size that fits everything from a hat front to a full tote panel.
I made this originally for a hiking club in the pacific northwest who wanted a chest patch for their fleece jackets. One customer ordered the 5-inch tall size on navy fleece and sent me a photo this winter. The forest green and teal palette on navy was stunning, practically glowed off the fabric. Dont underestimate what the right ground colour does for this one.
Best results on navy, charcoal, slate blue or black fabric where the colour palette stands out. Avoid light colours because the pale yellow valley thread gets lost on anything near white or cream. Use cutaway stabiliser for the denser larger sizes, especially on fleece or canvas twill where the horizontal satin density is highest. The smaller sizes on a hat or a shirt pocket take tearaway fine.
Pair with a text arc below saying a location name or elevation number. One colour accent text below the peak looks exactly right.

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.
