Its a coneflower, the kind you see growing tall along roadsides in late summer. The petals droop slightly downward and outward the way they actually do on a real echinacea plant, not sticking straight out like a clip-art daisy. Each petal is a long satin column in dusty rose, shaded lighter toward the tip, with a fine black outline separating each one. The seed centre is a dense raised dome in amber orange, packed at high density to give it that textured, almost embossed look. Two broad teal-green leaves branch off the stem with directional satin fills and visible vein stitching down the centre of each.
my digitising suite built the punch. The petal shading runs as a base fill in a lighter dusty pink first, then the deeper directional satin columns over the top for the colour depth. The seed dome uses a high-density fill at 1742 stitches per square inch, so the centre genuinely looks raised and textured against the flatter petals around it. The high centre density is what makes the whole thing read like a proper botanical illustration rather than a flat flower outline. Run this on a firm woven cotton or linen, the dense centre needs a solid stabiliser underneath. Avoid knits for this one unless youre adding a robust cutaway layer. Pair it with a neutral linen thread in the bobbin and youll barely see the reverse.
The 76,158 stitch count on the largest size means this is a slow stitch. Budget around 40 to 50 minutes on a single-head machine at medium speed. One customer wrote with a fabric question last june and then stitched the 5.82-inch version on a natural linen table runner, the dusty rose and teal combination on undyed linen is genuinely one of my favourite colour outcomes from any design Ive put out. Worth the stitch time. Add a second flower at a mirrored angle and youve got a paired placement thats hard to beat on a runner or cushion.
4 sizes from 3.49 inches up to 5.82 inches wide, 7 colours, 43,548 to 76,158 stitches. Best on natural linen, quilting cotton, or medium-weight canvas.

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.
