Its a proper armful of sunflowers, the kind you imagine someone just cut from a garden. The big central bloom dominates, fat satin petals in bright golden yellow pointing out in all directions from a round dark brown seed centre. Two more medium sunflowers sit slightly back and below it, and then smaller buds fill the gaps. Big bold forest green leaves fan out wide on both sides and thinner wheat-spray leaves tuck in between, all of it gathered at the base like someones holding it in a bunch.
Four colours only: golden yellow, dark warm brown for the seed centres, bright forest green and a slightly lighter olive green for the leaf variety. Stitch count goes from 13,919 at the 3 in start size up to 34,060 at biggest 7.5. Density sits at a relaxed 615, so its not a heavy demanding stitch.
Im always getting photos of it on tea towels and apron bibs, it just belongs in a kitchen or garden-room setting. One lady messaged me last july saying she stitched the 7.5-inch on a cream linen curtain panel as a single centrepiece motif and honestly it sounded brilliant.
Stick to light fabrics, cream, white, natural linen, pale sage. The 4 colours are all warm so they need a pale ground to read properly. Use a standard tearaway stabiliser on woven linen or cotton, this density level is forgiving. Hoop securely and let the machine run at normal speed.

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.
