Its a tree growing right out of an open book, which I think is kind of the coolest concept Ive done in this category. The branches dont have leaves, they split and spread in that bare winter-tree way, like coral or cracked lightning, really intricate. The roots dig into the pages of the book below so the whole thing reads as one connected image from bottom to top.
Three shades of green give it depth on a single colorway. Theres a darker tone on the book and roots, a brighter mid-green on the main trunk, and the lightest shade fills those fine branch tips. Stitch count runs from 13,059 on the 2.96-inch width up to 27,919 on the 6.34-inch width, 5 sizes total. my standard software kept those tiny branch ends clean even at the smaller hoopings. Back it with medium-weight cutaway, dont skip that on anything knit or the branch detail drags.
Teachers keep messaging about this design, and I get orders for it in bulk every May and June when end-of-year gifts and library volunteer stuff picks up. Hoop it on natural cotton or linen canvas for the cleanest result. Use a tearaway on woven shirts if you dont want visible stabiliser edges underneath.

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.
