So this is the classic crossed palm sunset scene at 7.5 inches wide and Ive done it as a proper detailed beach plate, not a flat cartoon. Two palm trees lean in toward each other with the trunks crossing low, and right between them the yellow sun is dropping into the aqua water. The sky and sea blend through orange ripples and choppy wave lines so it reads like that exact five minutes before dusk.
Trunks are stitched in layered brown with the bark texture going directional so you cant miss the rings. Fronds are dark green and they fan out in proper palm shapes, not just blobs. Three lil coconut clusters tuck under the fronds. The sun itself is a solid yellow disc with horizontal orange rays running across the water and a thin aqua band of choppy waves underneath. Down at the base I added a black sandy strip with a small rock and tiny grass tuft so it doesnt look like the trees are floating.
And the customers using this are mostly summer apparel sellers and beach house decor folks. Last summer aswell I had one customer doing a vacation rental linen package who put the medium size on guest towels and napkins. Cruise shirts, beach bag corners, retirement gift pillows for the friend who finally moved to florida, thats the kind of stuff people order for. It also reads alot better than expected on dark navy when you stitch it with a tear away topping.
Comes in 9 sizes from 3.49 by 3.13 inches up to 7.5 by 6.69 inches. Stitches range from 16,541 on the smallest up to 43,922 on the biggest, so plan around 35 minutes hooped for the largest. 9 thread swaps because the palette repeats over both trees and the water layers.
Stitch on woven cotton, linen or canvas for the cleanest result and run a medium cutaway under it because the densest patch is the sun and water at 875 spi. Skip thin jersey unless youre hooping with mesh underneath because the choppy water lines need a stable base. The orange rays read best on cream, white or sand coloured fabric so the sun doesnt get lost.

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.
