Running left to right the design is a wildflower meadow strip, the kind you'd see at the edge of a field where nobody's bothered to tame it. Butter yellow daisy-type heads sit tallest, dusty rose rounded blooms come in at mid-height, sage grass blades fill the gaps, and small lavender buds scatter through as filler. Its not symmetrical and thats the point. The stems arent evenly spaced, the heights vary, and the whole thing has that slightly chaotic look of something that grew rather than something arranged. Four colours total but they work hard across the 5 sizes.
industry software handled the grass blade sections, keeping the sage from flattening against the base fabric at the smaller sizes with underlay stitching. Density at 687 means its on the lighter end, which is correct for a border you'd use repeatedly along hem lines or across a runner. The smallest size is 3.5 by 1.8 inches at 9,583 stitches, the largest 7.5 by 3.85 inches at 19,847 stitches. Pair it with tearaway stabiliser on woven linen and avoid heavy cutaway that adds bulk to a hem fold.
A customer recieved this as part of a table runner order this spring and told me she ran the border twice end-to-end on ivory linen to make a full centrepiece strip. Suprised how well the sage thread reads on natural linen, it sits warmer than it looks on screen. Run a topping layer on any linen with visible weave texture to keep the fine grass blade stitches from sinking.
Add the larger size along tablecloth hems where the border weight matches the fabric. Pick the 3.5-in build for pillowcases and lighter cotton where a narrow botanical trim is enough.
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.
- Table runners and linen tablecloth hemsRunning the 7-in size twice end-to-end along an ivory linen runner creates a full-length meadow centrepiece without extra digitising.
- Pillowcase borders and bedding accentsthe 3.5-in build sits neatly along a standard pillowcase hem without interfering with the pillow fold.
- Curtain hem trim for a cottage-style roomCurtain hems in lightweight linen or cotton take the design well because the low stitch density doesnt weigh down the drape.
- Tote bag rim or base border detailA 5-inch strip along a tote bag opening gives a botanical border that looks hand-finished without heavy work.
- Spring seasonal apron hem embellishmentCotton canvas aprons with the border along the front hem panel suit spring markets and outdoor food events.
- Handmade card inserts and hoop wall artHooped in a 6-inch frame on natural linen, the 5-inch version makes a clean piece of wall art that suits neutral room palettes.
- Repeating border on fabric gift wrapRepeated in a strip across fabric gift wrap, the low density keeps the fabric supple enough to fold and tie.

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.
