Big, full poinsettia bloom taking up the whole hoop. The bracts fan outward in layers, pointed tips curling just slightly at the edges, and theres atleast 3 distinct reds in there. The outermost layer is a bright crimson, the inner bracts shift to a deeper cherry, and the ones right near the centre go almost hot pink. That layering is what makes it look real rather than flat.
Behind the red petals, broad dark green leaves push outward in every direction. Each one has satin column stitching running along the midrib and fanning into the leaf body, so the veining actually shows up instead of getting lost in the fill. The centre is a small cluster of amber dots, tight little satin knots hooped close together. Black outlines frame everything and give it that clean illustrated look on any colour fabric.
Im digitising these in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio and the density on the petal fill is set at 1,041 stitches per inch, which is why the red reads as solid even on textured fabric. A customer ordered this last december for a christmas table runner and messaged saying the 6.5-inch size came out cleaner than expected on a linen blend. Good stabiliser choice matters here since theres alot of coverage, so cutaway underneath keeps the petal edges from pulling in.
Best on cream, ivory, white or black cotton. The multi-layer red doesnt need help on light fabric but really pops against black too, dark backgrounds make the amber centre glow. Avoid stretchy fabric on the larger sizes, the density and directional stitching needs something stable to sit on. Hoop snug and keep your bobbin tension even for the satin vein columns.
Four sizes run from 4.5 inches up to 7.5 inches, so you can drop it on a table napkin at the small end or fill an embroidery hoop as a wall piece at the largest. The holiday season is the obvious use but honestly its a botanical piece that works all year. Holler if theres an issue with your download and Ill sort it same day.

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.
