Vine wreath with a rough square shape, tangled bare branches, small bats hanging and flying round the vine, tiny leaf clusters along the stems, and a small black cat sitting at the centre bottom. The cat is easy to miss at first, its quite small relative to the whole wreath, which makes it a nice detail for people who look closely at the stitching. There are 3 bats visible around the vine frame, ya can count em.
Single black thread. The whole design, the vines, bats, leaves, and the lil cat, is all one colour. Thats what gives it that botanical woodblock print feeling. Its not loud halloween, its more the kind of thing you could stitch on an autumn pillow and leave up through november.
Five sizes from 3.26 inches wide up to 6.98 inches. Stitch counts run from 9,873 to 21,167 stitches. Density is 404 per square inch, digitised in professional digitising software with a directional underlay on the vine fill sections so the branch texture comes through clearly and doesnt just read as flat black mass. I get messages asking whether the vine detail stitches cleanly at the 3 inch sizes and yes it does, the branches stay distinct rather than merging together. One customer last autumn bought nine squares of cream linen for a set of autumn napkins and stitched this in the corner of each one.
Use tearaway stabiliser on woven linen or cotton. Cutaway on any stretch fabric. Skip very open weave fabric as the branch fill sections need a stable backing to hold shape. Best on cream, white, grey, or dark fabric where the black outline reads clearly. Pair with a monogram in the centre for a personalised autumn or halloween piece.

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.
