Alright the sunflower. Two rings of long pointed petals radiating outward, big textured brown centre dotted with seed marks. Straight-on bloom shot, like you cut it from a stem and laid it flat on the table to draw it. Petals overlap with a slight twist, no two are exactly identical, so the whole thing feels hand-painted rather than digital.
Yellow is the star here, real bright sunshine yellow on the petal tips, with warm orange shading bleeding in near the centre to give that dimensional look real sunflowers have. Brown seed centre uses a mix of small dots and bullion-style knots which adds proper texture, isnt just a flat brown disk. Fine black outline runs around each petal so the whole bloom reads crisp from across a room.
Last summer my customer ordered this for her grandmas memorial garden shed. Grandma loved sunflowers, the customer wanted it stitched on cream curtains for the shed window. She emailed me a photo and i nearly cried. Bit of a soft spot for that one now.
Comes in 9 sizes from 3.39 inch up to 7.25 inch wide. Stitch counts run 27k to 69k so the bigger ones are properly dense, plan extra bobbin thread for the largest. Best fabrics are smooth woven cotton, tea towels, linen, denim, canvas. Back any tee with cutaway because the dense petal fills will pull jersey outta shape if you dont.

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.
