Back in september a customer wrote me looking for a pumpkin design that wasnt the usual carved face, she wanted something more cottage-garden, she said. I already had this one sitting in my files and it matched exactly what she described. Its a pumpkin surrounded by daisy blooms, eight colours, 10182 stitches packed at a density of 257 into a 2.46 inch square. Digitised in professional digitising software, the satin ribs on the pumpkin are directional fills that follow the curve of each rib naturally.
Use cutaway stabiliser on this one, at 257 density the stitch count is a lil heavy for tearaway on most mid-weight fabrics, and ya dont want the base shifting mid-hoop. Run an underlay pass first under the pumpkin body, let the machine finish that layer before the top satin starts. The daisy petals are nine separate colour stops, so watch your bobbin tension before you start, a loose bobbin here will show on the white petals. Pair it with matching autumn thread colours or go brighter with cheerful yellows for a more playful harvest look.
People have been buying this one for thanksgiving table linens, harvest-themed tote bags, and a bunch of them stitch it on aprons. Its kinda just the right size for a pocket placement or a small centred chest logo. Use a 80/12 needle on denim or canvas weight fabrics, step down to 75/11 for quilting cotton. Avoid placing it on dark navy or forest green if you want the white daisy petals to pop cleanly, the contrast really matters at this stitch scale.
Drop a note if you run into any trouble with the file and Ill have a look.

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.
