This one packs alot into a tight rectangle. Up top there are four fall icons lined up in a row: a latte cup with a cream swirl on top, a bold orange maple leaf, a brown football with stitching lines running across it, and a round pumpkin with a dark green leaf at the stem. Small four-pointed sparkle stars are dotted around and between the icons, kinda like a retro poster graphic from the 70s. Below the icon row sits the block-letter phrase 'tis the season' in big capitals with a chunky orange outline, the kind of lettering that reads clearly from across a room.
Five colours in total: cream for the latte top, deep orange on the leaf and text outline, burnt orange on the pumpkin and football body, dark green for the pumpkin stem leaf, and black for the outlines and football detail. Four colour changes, 5 stops. The density hits 1,231 on this design which is genuinely the highest stitch density Ive worked with on a fall lettering piece. At the smallest size its 23,144 stitches and at the largest it runs to 34,295. So this isnt a quick five-minute stitch, plan for at least 20 to 25 minutes per piece on a mid-speed machine.
A realtor I sell to through my Etsy shop started buying this one last september. She embroiders it onto cream canvas pouches and cotton tote bags as closing-gift extras for her clients who move in before thanksgiving. She said her clients photograph the bags and post em online more than anything else she puts in the gift basket. Suprised me honestly, didnt expect a football icon to be the thing that made the piece pop, but there it is.
Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser on all sizes. Hoop very firm and slow the machine slightly on the text section because the block lettering columns are dense and need clean edges. Stitch on cream cotton, natural canvas, or oatmeal linen. Skip anything textured like terry cloth or waffle knit, the fine icon details wont hold shape. The football stitch lines and the sparkle stars especially need a flat stable ground to read well.

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.
