Sketched this one up with 2 books lying flat on top of each other, both viewed from the front so you get the full spine width and those lined page details. Then a big messy bouquet climbs up from behind the top book, 3 spiky daisy-like flowers in the centre, a loose peony head to the right, and dark spear-shaped leaf clusters filling the gaps. Kinda wild and botanical at the same time.
Its denser than a pure outline design. At the largest size, 4.87 inches wide, youre looking at 12,834 stitches, and density sits at 405, so the fill areas are solid and tight. Smallest runs are 4,694 stitches at 1.88 inches. Single colour throughout, no thread swaps in the middle of a hoop. Use a stable cutaway stabiliser on cotton or canvas, the flower fill sections need proper backing or you'll get puckering along the satin petals.
Ping me if theres any issue with the files, Im usually back within a few hours. A customer last spring ordered the 3.5 build to stitch onto navy denim jacket pockets for a small book club group order and said the filled spines read sharp even on the darker fabric. That kind of contrast actually suits the design well.
Best results on cotton twill, denim, or linen. The filled sections are gonna show any stabiliser ripple so keep your hooping tension even. Add a wash-away film if youre stitching on anything with a nap or texture.

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.
