The words 'October is my favorite color' are stacked in this chunky layered layout and the colour payoff is honestly alot of fun to stitch out. Top line 'October' comes in big bold burnt orange brush script with those looping ascenders and descenders you'd expect from a casual hand-lettered look. The middle section drops into a darker brick red for 'is my' in a smaller complementary script. Three colours. That's it.
Then 'favorite color' sits at the base in that same chunky orange, bold and wide, and a single red maple leaf anchors the bottom right corner which rounds the whole block out. Burnt orange, dark red and a brighter red for the leaf. Wilcom digitised the satin columns on the thick letterforms with directional stitching so the 'October' word reads clean even on cotton twill. The whole design runs between 11,117 stitches at the 3.8-inch size up to 18,080 at 5.7 inches and theres a good amount of coverage in those letter fills so dont rush the machine speed on the bigger size.
I get alot of messages from coffee shop owners and market stall vendors who stitch this on their october aprons every year. One customer actually runs a pumpkin patch and ordered a batch for her staff uniform tees last september. The sarcastic tone lands really well on adults who are kinda obsessed with the season without wanting something overly sweet. And theres nobody left out with a design like this, its for the whole pumpkin-season crowd.
Stitch on cream, oatmeal or natural linen for the warmest read. But honestly it also pops on charcoal jersey if you want more contrast with the orange. Skip anything patterned here because the lettering itself carries alot of visual information across 3 thread stops. Use tearaway stabiliser on stable woven cotton and switch to cutaway if youre hooping jersey or fleece. Good firm hoop, slow speed on the biggest size, and it runs clean.
Sizes: 3.8 x 4 inches, 4.75 x 5 inches and 5.7 x 6 inches. Holler at me if you need a size adjusted or the file throws an error on your machine and Ill sort it out.

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.
