This stops people mid-scroll, honestly. A big heart silhouette packed solid with small flowers, but the flowers are arranged in rainbow colour bands so the whole thing reads as a gradient from red right through to violet. Eleven colours total, each band uses a different flower shape so even within the rainbow progression theres variety and detail. At 393 density the petal satin work is firm and smooth; stitch count runs 20,200 on the 6 inch version up to 34,538 at the full 10 inch width.
Five sizes from 6 by 5.27 inches up to 10 by 8.79 inches. Its alot of thread changes, 11 colours means 11 stops, but the sequence is straightforward and the boundaries between bands are well-defined, so theres no guesswork about where one colour stops and the next picks up. Press a thick backer behind this one; at this stitch density a lighter backing wont hold everything flat. Add a wash-away topping film if youre stitching on anything with a pile or texture and you'll get cleaner petal edges. Any customer putting this on a sweatshirt or canvas tote will want the density working in their favour, not against the fabric.
industry-grade software handled the underlay routing, and it shows in how cleanly the colour transitions sit. No bleed between sections, just sharp clean edges where one flower type ends and a fresh colour begins. A customer ordered this in May last year for a pride market and said it sold out of tote bags within an hour. Stitch the 6 inch version if youre working on a budget; use the full 10 inch size when the project calls for real presence.

- Add to a throw pillow cover on a white or natural ground for a living room accentA 20x20 inch pillow cover gives enough ground for the 10 inch version to breathe.
- Hoop onto a denim jacket back at 8 inches for a standout vintage-style piecePre-wash denim before hooping -- shrinkage after stitching would distort the heart shape.

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.
