So this gardening quote is stacked in four rows. PLANT sits at the top in chunky dark forest green block caps with a tiny green leaf tucked next to the T, smiles drops down in flowing cornflower blue cursive with a long swooping s descender, GROW lands underneath in those same forest green caps, then love finishes it off at the bottom in blue looping script. Right next to the love word a tiny red tomato sits like a punctuation mark, stem and all.
Three colours: dark green, scarlet red, and cornflower blue. 4 sizes from 2.51 inch up to 5.51 inch, you get two color changes per run. Stitch counts run 4,908 at smallest, then 7041 at the next, and the largest hits 11,952. Density at 463 is on the medium side, the chunky forest caps carry most of the dense fill. The leaf accent and tomato are tiny so they need a clean light underlay otherwise they blob out, send a test sample on scrap if youre running this on anything stretchier than cotton twill.
One customer ordered the 4-inch size last spring for her mums birthday gardening apron, she stitched it on natural canvas with medium cutaway behind. She told me the tomato came out cute and the green and blue read warm against the canvas, its the kinda gift thats gonna get framed eventually instead of worn into the dirt.
Best on natural canvas, oatmeal cotton twill, cream linen, or pale grey cotton. Skip dark green fabric, the forest caps wont read, theyll blend right in. Avoid bright red fabric too, theres no way the tomato will read clean against it. Use medium cutaway under woven canvas, tearaway for thinner cotton. Hoop firmly on stretchier fabric and slow the machine on the colour changes to prevent thread drag between stops.

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.
