Its the word love in big looping cursive script, and the o in the middle is replaced with a proper sunflower head. Not a simplified cartoon version either, its got the real petal spread and that dark brown seedy centre with the yellow rays fanning out. The script uses a scratchy textured fill rather than solid satin so it looks kinda hand-stitched and organic rather than machine-clean and stiff. Three colours total: golden yellow petals, warm brown seed centre, and black for the lettering.
Stitch count runs from 7,375 on the chest 3.5 size up to just over 20k at the 7.5 build. Light enough that a standard tearaway stabiliser on cotton works fine, no need for heavy cutaway for most woven fabrics. The lettering satin density sits at around 543 so its a relaxed stitch that doesnt push fabric around on the hoop.
I made this originally for a farmers market tote and honestly it just keeps selling. My customers use it on tea towels, apron fronts, pillow covers, baby blankets. A mum messaged me last spring saying she stitched it on 12 linen napkins as wedding favours for her daughters garden wedding and they looked gorgeous.
Pop it on cream or oatmeal linen for the warmest result. White cotton works aswell, nice and crisp. Avoid dark fabric because the black script disappears at any distance. Centre the sunflower on the fabric first, then let the script trail out from there.

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.
