Honestly this is one of my favourite farmhouse kitchen designs in the whole range. A round rustic bread loaf with wheat stalks crossed on each side, three colours, clean but with a handmade feel to it. The scoring lines on the bread crust are done in a tight satin stitch at 969 density so they hold their shape even on textured linen. Stitch count runs from 16,601 at the small 3.51 inch size to 35,554 at the full 7.5 inches. Wide and low in format, more rectangular than square, which is why it sits so well on tea towels and table runners.
On natural linen this one is the best Ive seen it look. The warm golden tan of the bread against undyed linen or oatmeal cotton reads as very intentional and styled. Run a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser on kitchen linens because they see alot of use and washing and you want the applique to hold long-term. The satin fill on the bread body uses a short directional run to suggest a slight dome shape. Use a topping film if youre sewing onto textured linen to keep those fine wheat grain stitches from sinking into the weave. Stitch it slow if your machine has variable speed, the 969 density benefits from steady feed. Plain and simple. Done.
One customer recieved this file as part of a farmhouse kitchen set order last march and she embroidered the full batch of 8 tea towels in a single afternoon, the low stitch count makes it fast to run. She used ecru thread for the wheat on natural linen and it was barely visible in a really nice tonal way. Five sizes, 3.51 to 7.5 in span. Dm me if a file wont load in your software and Ill look into it for you right away.

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.
