Its a round, plump pumpkin sitting nice and low with that classic ribbed silhouette. The body is a solid burnt orange satin fill, rich and dense, and right across the middle the word Thankful runs in a big looping calligraphy script. The lettering swoops in from the left and exits off the right side with those long graceful flourishes that calligraphy folks love. Black stem, then up top theres bright lime green curly vines branching out left and right with lil leaf shapes tucked in among em.
3 colours total and five sizes from 2.98 inches up to 6.38 wide. Simple colour palette but the contrast is whats sells it. The orange and black sit right on top of each other so the script pops off the pumpkin body without needing any extra outline. digitising tools kept the satin density balanced on the calligraphy so each letterform stitches clean even on the narrow upstrokes. I been digitising script-on-shape designs for years and the tricky part is always keeping the underlay tight enough that the letter edges dont sink into the body fill below.
A thanksgiving hostess ordered this last October for her autumn table runner and a matching set of linen napkin corner patches. She was going for that farmhouse spread look and ya, three colours on a cream linen base looks exactly like that. Now I get a bunch of orders every September from people setting up autumn home decor runs before thanksgiving week. its the build that that doesnt need explaining when someone sees it.
Stitch on cream, oatmeal, or sand cotton for the warmest result. The lime vines sing against pale backgrounds and go a little flat on white. Add light tearaway woven linen, cutaway on fleece or velvet. Hoop the pumpkin centred, the vine tips extend close to the edge on the bigger sizes so leave proper clearance.
Drop a quick line if the calligraphy rows need thinning for a finer machine needle, I can tweak the underlay and send a revised file.

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.
