This one is two holidays arguing in the best possible way. The gnome at the centre is wearing a red hat covered in small white heart outlines and holding a big flat pink heart with both striped grey mittens. Very valentines. But flanking him on each side are two full golden sunflowers with black seeded centres and those big wide petals, which is straight-up summer-into-autumn energy. The mix works because the warm mustard yellow actually pulls the red and pink of the hat into a cohesive palette instead of fighting it.
Round orange nose, red boots with white toe caps, and the whole figure is compact enough that the sunflowers frame it without swallowing it. Seven colours: mustard yellow, black, slate grey for the mittens, red, hot pink, burnt orange for the disc middles, and white. Each petal gets digitised with directional stitching running out from the core so theres a radiating texture to every one of em rather than flat fill. Thats the detail I spent the most time on and it shows when you hoop it up.
A florist I work with ordered this for their february wrap tissue and tote bags this year because they wanted something that bridged the valentines and late-winter season without going full hearts-everywhere. She said her customers were actually suprised to see something that felt fresh instead of the usual. And yeah I get that, its a combination people arent used to seeing on embroidery.
Five sizes, 3.51 inches at the smallest up to 7.51 inches on the largest. Best stitched on cream, white or natural linen for a boutique look. The yellow really pops on dark navy or forest green aswell if youre after something more dramatic. Use a cutaway stabiliser across all sizes, 56k stitches at the big end is alot to ask of a tearaway. Hoop snug and slow your machine down for the petal runs.

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.
