Its a sunflower sitting right in the centre and the word Mother curves around or beneath it in a flowing cursive script. The petals are done with satin columns that fan out from the centre disk and the lettering has those long looping strokes that make the whole thing feel handwritten rather than typed. Single colour throughout, which sounds boring but honestly its what makes it work.
One thread colour keeps everything crisp and readable on pretty much any fabric. I made this one with tea towels and aprons in mind because thats where mum gifts really land, but it goes alot further than that. A customer last mothers day in may ordered the 5.5-inch version for a linen tote and sent me photos, it looked really clean against the natural undyed canvas.
Stitch count runs 6177 at the smallest 2.55-inch size and tops out at 16606 on the full 6.81-inch version. Five sizes total so youve got flexibility whether youre personalising a small pocket corner or filling a full front panel. The underlay is pinned firm so the satin columns sit flat and dont sink into the weave.
Best results on tight wovens like cotton poplin, linen or twill. Hoop with a medium cutaway stabiliser for apron fabric and a tear-away on poplin shirts. Use a 75/11 needle and slow your machine down for the script lettering sections because those satin columns in the cursive strokes are narrow and they need steady tension. And theres a small heart detail near the bloom that really shows up nicely on cream ground.
Hit me up if the file gives trouble or the stitch out looks off. Ill sort it quick.

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.
