Sunflower growing straight out of a pumpkin, thats the whole idea. The pumpkin sits at the bottom, round and ribbed in burnt orange with the characteristic vertical groove lines that make it read as a pumpkin immediately. The flower stem comes up through the middle, tall and green, and the sunflower head fans out at the top with full golden-yellow petals going outward in all directions and a dark brown centre disc at the heart.
Five colours: golden yellow for the petals, deep brown for the flower centre, burnt orange on the pumpkin body, warm green on the stem and any leaf detail, and a pale cream or off-white for highlights on the ribbing. Its a low-stitch design in the smaller sizes, around 7,972 at the minimum, so it runs quickly and theres no drama with thread tension on lighter fabrics. The biggest size hits 18,032 which is still manageable on most home machines. Density is on the lighter side at 393, feels airy on cotton without being scratchy on the back.
She sent me a photo last november of this on a cream linen apron, the harvest market aesthetic was exactly right. I get messages about this one every autumn, people realise they want something fall-seasonal that isnt halloween and isnt thanksgiving, just that middle ground. This is that.
Looks best on neutral fabric: cream, oat, natural linen, off-white cotton. The golden yellow really sings on a warm ground. You can run it on a terracotta or rust-coloured fabric aswell and the orange pumpkin blends into the background in an interesting way while the yellow petals and brown centre stay distinct. Tearaway stabiliser works across all 5 sizes, its a relatively low-density design. Hoop snug so the long stem stays straight during stitching.
8 file formats arrive in the bundle. Send me a chat note if anything needs adjusting and ill rework it for ya.

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.
