Smiling cactus in a pink pot, 6 colours, and honestly its just a bit silly looking, which is exactly why people love it. Three chunky rounded sections stacked up, solid saturated green with dense vertical stitching running top to bottom. The main body has two little stick arms poking out and a tiny face right in the middle, dot eyes with lash curls and a small curved smile.
Up at the top of each section theres a small red-pink flower bloom, each one with a few petals in slightly different shades. Three little pink hearts float up to the left of the top segment. The whole plant sits in a squat pink pot at the bottom. Comes in 5 sizes running from 3.5 inches wide to a 7.5 jumbo, so it fits on baby bibs, a standard 5x7 hoop frame or a bigger nursery piece.
One customer Hit me up last spring needing something to stitch on muslin cloths for a baby shower gift, so I pointed them here. Stitch counts run from about 11k up to 32k at the largest size. Hoop with a cutaway stabiliser, it holds everything nice when you get into those dense green fills. Use a tearaway under the pot section if your base fabric is light cotton or jersey. Skip dark coloured fabrics because the pink hearts and face details wont read properly. Best results on white, cream or pale sage.
The eye detail uses satin stitches so get your tension right before you start. Pick thread colours with enough contrast between the pot and the flower blooms or you lose the layering. And dont worry if the small hearts look tight in the hoop preview, they stitch out clean at all five sizes.

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.
