Loose handful of three sunflowers wrapped in raffia, real summery. Seven sunflower heads cluster together at the top, each one with bright yellow petals fanning out around a dark chocolate brown disk centre. The petals layer over each other so theres depth, and the directional stitching follows the petal grain so when light hits it from the side, the flowers actually look three-dimensional. Down below the heads, a tangle of olive green leaves and sage stems wrap into a hand-tied bunch.
The petals run two yellows, a brighter sunshine yellow on the outer edges and a deeper gold tucked closer to the centre. So youll get warmth and shading without piling on extra colour changes. Eight colours total, kinda the perfect amount for a piece this rich looking. Couple of the leaves have rust accents along the edges where I customised it to feel late-summer rather than peak-bloom.
Last august one customer ordered eight 6 inch versions for her sisters wedding rehearsal dinner, she stitched em on cream linen napkins and shes still got the photos pinned over her counter. Run the biggest 7.5 inch on a heavy canvas tote for farmers market trips, or hoop the mid 5-inch on a wheat broadcloth apron.
Pick lighter fabric, cream linen, oatmeal cotton, sage green or pale denim works gorgeous with the warm yellows. Skip dark fabric since the gold petal shading reads muddy on black. Apply mid cutaway, the largest size needs proper backing or the leaves bunch up. Keep tension steady and ease the rpm for the directional petals.

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.
