Three red poppies on arching stems, the petals have that heavy crumpled look real poppies get when they open fast. Biggest bloom sits up top, a second angles off to the right at mid-height, and the third sits lower left. A tight closed bud hangs off to the side on its own curving stem. The foliage at the base is those deeply cut serrated poppy leaves in forest green. Five colours, 4 colour changes, and its a design thats been requested for everything from kitchen aprons to remembrance pouches.
Smallest size is 3.51 by 2.34 inches at 10,477 stitches. Biggest is 7.50 by 5.01 inches at 24,738 stitches. professional digitising software ran the petal fill with directional satin so the thread catches light on each bloom differently, thats what gives it that almost oil-painting quality at the larger sizes. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser on anything stretchy. Dont use thin muslin on the 7-inch version because the red petal density pulls through. Hoop snug and slow down on the dark red shadow sections. Skip synthetic fabrics where the satin sheen looks plasticky.
Theres a remembrance angle here aswell. I get messages every october and november from people wanting red poppies for memorial items, jackets and sashes. Back in november a customer ordered 8 of the 4-in feature on black canvas pouches for a community group. Worked brilliantly. Text me on chat if the file gives trouble and Ill rework 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.
