The words "give thanks" are written in a big looping calligraphy script in pumpkin orange, the kind where letters flow into each other with long drawn-out flourish tails. The letter G sweeps up into a curl, the lowercase letters lean forward like the writing has momentum, and the whole phrase sits on a diagonal angle that feels natural and easy instead of stiff. Two small bright green maple leaves are tucked near the top right and lower right of the lettering. Thats the whole design and its enough.
2 colours. Pumpkin orange satin fill for the script and bright leaf green for the pair of leaves. Five sizes from 3.5 by 3.51 inches up to 7.48 by 7.51 inches. Stitch count goes from 5,957 stitches on from petite 3 in up to 14,319 on the largest. Density sits at a light 255 which means this runs fast and doesnt push through linen or lightweight canvas.
professional embroidery software kept bold satin columns shaping the thicker flourish sections even so youll get clean curled tails without waviness. The hooping needs to be square on since any skew will throw off the diagonal angle and make the lettering look tilted wrong. Lay firm cutaway beneath cotton fabric and hoop snug.
In november I get orders from thanksgiving hostesses and home decorators who want something on their table runners or kitchen towels before the family arrives Thursday. One customer last thanksgiving ordered nine of the 7-inch size, one for each seat at her table. She stitched em on cream linen napkins and her guests kept asking where shed bought them. Suprised em all when she said she made em herself.
Stitch on cream or oatmeal linen for the most autumnal feel. Burnt orange, rust or sage cotton reads well aswell. Skip stark white fabric because the pumpkin orange can look cold on it. Tiny fragment. Pop the chest 3.5 in on a mug rug or a fall gift tag.

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.
