Tall border of wildflowers on cream or white linen, all done in a single thread colour. Theres daisies, round seed heads on thin stems, fern-type leaves, small butterfly shapes scattered through the top section, and a bunch of different grass shapes filling in the base. The whole thing has that loose botanical illustration look, like something you'd find on the margin of a vintage nature notebook. Its not perfectly symmetrical, which is the point really, it reads like an actual meadow edge rather than a clipped floral pattern.
Set the densities in the software I use, single colour, 3 sizes running from about 14,400 stitches up to 17,289. Because its all fine line work, the underlay and density matter alot here. Density is 441 which keeps things light enough that the individual stems and flower outlines dont blob together. Run tearaway stabiliser behind crisp woven fabrics like cotton or linen, and a topping on any textured surface so the fine stitches dont sink into the weave. Hooped with good tension this reads realy nicely.
Drop it as a running border down the hem of a cream linen tablecloth and honestly it looks like heirloom work. My customers have also been stitching it along the collar of a white cotton shirt, on the edge of a natural canvas tote, and down the side seam of a tea towel. One customer told me she ran it twice mirrored on a duvet cover border and it came out gorgeous. Works best on light neutral fabrics where that single dark thread can do its thing.
Reach me a note if anything looks off and ill get it fixed fast.

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.
