Pastel rainbow in 4 concentric arcs -- magenta-pink outer band with white hearts, a mid-pink satin arc, then a slate-blue layer scattered with tiny stars, and a powder puff blush innermost arch. No text, no words, just the shapes and the 5 thread colors doing the work. Its compact and almost square in proportion rather than wide, so it sits nicely on smaller items without overrunning them.
5 color changes means you should thread up in advance before you hoop anything. Stitch it on white cotton first time round -- on white, the magenta outer arch and the slate blue both read clearly and the hearts dont disappear. Use a cutaway stabiliser if youre going on stretch or a knit fabric. Pop it centered on a pillowcase or a small square of linen and frame it, the proportions work well in a round hoop too. I sold this a lot last spring for new baby hampers and gift sets and the feedback was always good -- people like that its a bit more detailed than a plain rainbow but still reads as cute and simple.
Customers reach for it on baby blankets and nursery cushion covers, girls hair accessories and fabric headbands, pocket patches on kids cardigans and sweatshirts, framed nursery hoop art in rainbow and pastel themes, baby shower gifts and newborn bundles, and small project bags and cosmetics pouches.

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.
