Three sunflowers stand side by side, each one drawn in a botanical illustration style with open outline petals radiating around a dense round centre. The stems are where it gets clever, instead of a regular stalk, each stem is made from a cursive script word. 'hope' curls under the left flower, 'love' under the middle, 'faith' under the right. The whole thing stitches in a single green thread, so theres only 1 color change from start to finish. At 4 inches wide the flowers are delicate, and at 6.4 inches the open petal outlines have real presence on fabric.
One customer ordered this last spring for a batch of garden aprons as part of a church fundraiser, she did 20 of them in white cotton with green thread and said they sold out completely. Its a design that works well in any green shade: sage, forest, emerald. The single-color approach keeps the run time shorter than youd expect for the stitch count, which sits between 11,919 at the smaller size and 18,866 at 6.4 inches. Drop tearaway under cotton or linen aprons, and a light topping film if youre stitching on a textured weave to stop those fine outlines disappearing into the grain.
Stitch it as a row across a tea towel hem, or centre it on a tote bag front. Run a sharp 80/12 needle and a medium-weight tearaway for the best outline crispness on the fine sunflower petals. Skip stretchy fabrics for this one, unsupported petal outlines will distort on anything with give. Its a simple run compared to most multi-color designs and its one of those that customer response has been consistently warm on.

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.
