This ones all dark green. Not 2 colours, not 3, just 1. Every single element, the open book pages, the spine, the wildflower bouquet rising up from it, all done in dense dark green satin coverage from base to tip. What youre getting is a woodblock-print effect, the kind of botanical motif youll see carved into old library furniture or pressed into a leather journal cover. The depth comes from the directional stitching on the flower petals and the page fills, not from colour contrast.
The bouquet itself is generous. Daisy-type blooms, round petal clusters, thin stems crossing behind each other, long serrated leaves fanning wide on both sides. The book form below is solid and well-grounded, thick satin borders on all four edges, horizontal page lines running across both open halves. Its portrait format and sits tall, 2.76 inches wide at the 5-inch hoop size up to 5.51 inches at the 10-inch size. Heights from 5 to 10 inches to match.
A customer who runs a small literary events company ordered this last autumn for her team jackets. She wanted something that looked like a seal or a crest, she said, not a hobby design. Six sizes give her options from a 5-inch chest placement right up to a 10-inch back panel. I get messages from this one more than I expected, turns out dark green botanical on black fabric is a combination people didnt know they needed.

Lay cutaway stabiliser behind before hooping, this designs density averages 697 and its nearly 38k stitches on the largest size, it needs a firm foundation or the fabric'll bubble under the fill sections. Hoop with woven fabric face-up, cotton twill or denim both work well. Avoid jersey entirely on this one. Pick dark backgrounds, charcoal, navy or black, so the dark green reads by thread sheen rather than colour contrast. Skip white fabric here, the design just vanishes into it.

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.
