This one came together when I was looking at botanical illustration prints from the 1800s. The shape is technically a snowflake but every arm has this feathery fern quality, sub-branches tapering to a needle point with lil teardrop loops at each tip that look almost like seed pods. In dark green it reads more like a pressed botanical specimen than anything strictly wintery, which is what makes it useful well outside December aswell.
4 sizes from 2.01 up to 5.01 inches, 5,771 stitches on the small end and 14,563 on the large. Run it on medium cutaway stabiliser and use a topping on anything with texture. The needle-point tips can blunt on loose weaves if ya dont back them properly. Stitch a test square on linen before committing to a full run. Add topping on velvet. Skip the topping only on tightly woven poplin or canvas where the pile is flat.
I put a 3-in chest on a denim tote panel last week just to test how the green read on the raw fabric and it looked exactly like a vintage botanical print. Was suprised how well the teardrop tip caps translated at that size.
Dm me if you want to swap the green for white or ivory, Im happy to walk you through the thread change in your software. One customer said she recieved the file and had it stitched the same evening. Thats the goal.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Year-round botanical tote bag accentWorks through spring and summer too since the fern quality means it doesnt read as strictly seasonal on a canvas tote
- Winter table runner repeating motifRepeat 3 or 4 placements of the 3-inch file along a linen table runner using a spacing guide
- Linen napkin corner or centreStitch the 2-inch file in the corner of a set of linen napkins for a simple botanical table setting
- Embroidery hoop art for wall displayMount the 5-inch hoop run on natural linen in a round frame for a botanical wall art piece
- Cotton Christmas ornament or gift tagCut felt into small circle ornament shapes and stitch the 2-inch version with tearaway stabiliser
- Scarf hem or collar accentThe 2-inch size fits on a ribbed scarf hem with a topping to keep the needle tips clean
- Baby blanket corner botanical detailUse the 3-inch version on a cotton or muslin baby blanket corner in white thread on pale fabric

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.
