Its a big round harvest pumpkin with actual vines growing out of it. Not just a pumpkin sitting on its own, theres a whole little botanical scene going on. The stem curves up and the leaves fan out on both sides, with those thin curled tendrils looping around and a small open flower popping up near the top. The whole thing reads like something youd find in a vintage seed catalogue illustration.
Five colours and they all do something. The main form is burnt orange with dense directional satin stitching that follows the ribs. Dark green fills the big lobed leaves with a hatched texture that gives them weight without being flat. Aqua picks out the thin curling tendrils. Yellow handles the flower petals. Black outlines tie every element together and keep the edges sharp. The density on this one is moderate, around 46k stitches at the largest size, which is right for the level of botanical detail in those leaves.
One customer hooped the 7.5 cap on a natural linen tea towel and the burnt orange against undyed linen looked exactly like something from a craft market, in the best way. Its the kind of piece where the colours do most of the storytelling. Stitch it on cream, warm white, tan or pale sage and all five colours read cleanly. Skip white-on-white or anything too cool-toned, the yellow flower gets a bit lost if the background fights with the warm palette.
Heres the thing about botanical designs like this one. They dont need to be halloween-coded to work in autumn. Its genuinely usable from late august right through november without looking seasonal in a way that dates it. Use on table linens, tote bags, apron pockets or anything where you want a harvest feel without the spooky connotations. And if you do want it halloween-adjacent, pair it with a darker background fabric and it shifts tone completely.
Run a fusible mesh cutaway behind cotton or linen for the fullest coverage on those leaf fills. Tear-away works fine on thick canvas or duck cloth. Hoop snug, the dense satin on the pumpkin body needs a tight hoop to stay flat. Use a topping on terry or fleece so the leaf texture comes through cleanly against any pile.

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.
