Sketched this as a line-art take on a tree rather than a filled silhouette. One continuous spiral sweeps from a single base point up to a peak, widening as it rises in a loose cone shape. The spiral itself is a thin running-stitch line in warm amber-gold, about the weight of a single strand. No fill, no padding, just the line making the shape. That openness is the whole point.
Scattered through and around the spiral are teal snowflakes in three or four sizes. Each one is a proper six-pointed star with a secondary inner ring of shorter arms, so they read as actual snowflakes rather than asterisks. The sizes vary so it doesnt look like a repeat stamp. At the base the spiral tail curves out into the word Merry Christmas in red cursive, the tail of the y swinging left to close the composition. Three colours total: gold swirl, teal snowflakes, red script. Clean and quick to swap.
Four sizes. Biggest is 6.02 by 7.5 inches at 29,032 stitches. Smallest is 3.62 by 4.5 inches at 19,468. Density is 643 density per sq inch which is lighter than most tree designs, the open spiral doesnt need heavy fill. A customer hosting modern minimalist decor pieces stitched the large on off-white linen, mounted it in a wide oak hoop, and sold 14 of them in a single weekend online. Didnt even hoop them as stockings or pillows, just the hoop itself as wall art. Shes been using the same file since and its become her best-seller for minimalist decor buyers.
Works best on a smooth light fabric where the gold line reads clearly: fine linen, even-weave cotton, or a silk-cotton blend. White, ivory, dusty blue or pale grey all give the teal snowflakes room to breathe. Use a stabiliser appropriate for weight: light cutaway for linen, tear-away for smooth quilting cotton. Slow down on the snowflake detail arms, 600 SPM keeps the thin branches from skipping. Check the gold thread doesnt fray at the needle eye before you start, a rough eye will shred running-stitch weight thread mid-run.

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.
