The word love is written in a flowing cursive and where the O should sit a full sunflower head takes its place. Not a flat cartoon sunflower, an actual layered one with two rows of petals, outer row in bright gold satin and the inner row slightly shorter in a deeper amber, and then the centre is a dense dark brown textured fill that looks dimpled like a real seed head. The l, v and e stay as black satin script with a warm gold offset sitting behind each letter so the whole word has that depth to it.
Five colours does all of it. Black for the letters, two yellows for the petal layers, brown for the centre and that gold offset. The design runs portrait so its narrow and tall, 1.68 inches wide on the smallest size and 3.59 wide on the largest while running tall. Its actually pretty usefull for tote bag straps, hoodie sleeves and shirt plackets where a wide horizontal word piece wouldnt fit.
Five sizes total. Smallest at 1.68 by 3.5 is the one for a pen pocket or a hat brim placement. The 3.59 by 7.5 fills a tote front panel well and the sunflower petals are large enough at that size to see each layer separately on the fabric. Script lettering uses thick satin columns that hold clean even on medium-weight jersey. People have been buying this one regularly for sunflower wedding stuff, got a batch order last october from a bride who was doing tote bags and aprons for her bridal party.
Works best on white, ivory, warm cream or soft yellow fabric. Avoid dark backgrounds, the offset fades out against anything darker than a mid khaki. Use cutaway stabiliser on jersey and stretchy fabrics, tearaway on woven cotton and linen. Hoop tight on the small sizes since the script strokes are thin and any hoop slippage shifts the offset off the black letters. Leave a message if things look misaligned on your test stitch and ill check the file straight away.

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.
