Its all about tall stems and light wings here. The design is a vertical composition, wildflower stalks growing upward with a few butterfly shapes hovering in the mix, all drawn in line art only. No solid fill areas anywhere, just fine outlines tracing the petal shapes, the butterfly wing veins and the thin curving stems. At density 364 the outline stitching has enough weight to read clearly without looking heavy, and the open spaces between the lines keep that airy illustration quality.
Four sizes from 3.14 inches wide by 5.01 tall up to 5.02 by 8.01 inches. Stitch count is 9,701 to 14,635. Single colour, so its a quick hoop. Back this with a lightweight cutaway stabiliser on woven fabric, the tall narrow shape benefits from a bit of support to keep the vertical stems from pulling sideways. On a wide-sleeved tee or a tote bag gusset the vertical proportion works really well, and more than one customer has mentioned using the small 3.14 inch version on the wrist cuff of a denim jacket.
Its genuinely versatile. A customer last winter ordered this for a linen tote and the wing vein detail at the 5 inch size genuinely looked like a block print. Pick a neutral thread and it just works with almost any project. Text me through the contact form if you need a custom size and I'll come back to you fast.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Stitch the 5.02 inch version onto the front panel of a natural linen toteAt 5.02 inches on a 16x16 tote front the composition fills the space without crowding the seams.
- Use the 3.14 inch size on a shirt sleeve hem or wrist cuff areaThe 3.14 inch version on a cuff needs a stabiliser cut to size inside the sleeve before hooping.
- Embroider onto a canvas backpack front pocket as a botanical accentCanvas with a cutaway backing holds the tall vertical shape without distortion over time.
- Hoop onto a linen pillow cover in black thread for a nature print lookBlack thread on a white or natural linen pillow reads like a block-printed botanical.
- Add to a fabric-covered journal or sketchbook front coverIron-on tearaway works well for a stiff journal cover; press the stitching flat after hooping.
- Use as a repeating border element on a table runner or place matTwo side-by-side at 3.14 inches creates a symmetrical repeating border on a narrow runner.
- Stitch onto a baby quilt corner block in pale sage or dusty pink threadUse a water-soluble topping film on fluffy quilt batting to keep the fine wing outlines sharp.

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.
