Navy anchor sits dead centre inside a round wreath built from coiled rope at the top and base, with short sprigs of sea greenery and small coral pieces tucked in between. Its 4 colours altogether: navy for the anchor and rope, sandy tan for the rope highlights, sea green for the leaf sprigs, and a warm coral red for the accent berries. Light density overall, stitch count between 6,313 and 11,527 across the 4 sizes, so it sits flat and clean on cotton without pulling.
The anchor itself is the old-school solid iron shape, not a fancy decorative one. No frills, just the classic stock-and-crown silhouette. The wreath ring is open at the bottom, which I think makes it look less rigid than a fully enclosed circle. Sizes run from 3.29 inches up to 5.76 inches wide, with height from 4 to 7 inches, so the portrait-ish proportion drops neatly onto a tote, a shirt chest, or a cushion cover without looking stretched.
A customer sent me a photo last summer of this one stitched onto a set of navy blue cotton napkins for a beach house housewarming. She ran the 4.5-inch version, matched the navy thread to the napkin edge stitching, and honestly they looked like something youd find in a coastal boutique. I keep that photo saved because its one of the best uses Ive seen for this design.
The 5 inch version hoops nicely on a chambray bag panel or a canvas tote for a coastal kitchen gift. Stitch the smaller version onto a shirt pocket for a nautical capsule wardrobe piece. Add it to a cushion cover for beach house bedroom decor. Use a light cutaway stabiliser on woven fabric so the anchor fill stays dimensionally clean. Avoid black fabric, the sandy tan colour disappears and you lose the rope texture detail.
Hooped cotton canvas is the ideal base for the biggest size. The greenery sprigs are fine so keep your machine speed moderate and check your bobbin tension before you run the coral detail passes. Send me a message through the shop if any colour separations misalign and Ill check the file straight away.

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.
