An open book sits at the bottom, the spine centred and the pages fanning out to each side, and from the middle of those open pages a whole wildflower garden grows upward. Daisy-type flowers in pink and orange, green stems and broad flat leaves, tight little buds scattered through, and two or three small butterflies with open wings floating near the top. The book has crosshatch shading on the fore-edge so it actually looks like a thick novel lying open. The flowers fill the top half with real botanical variety, its not just one repeated bloom.
Six colours in total, and at 43,675 stitches on the 5.67-inch size this is a substantial stitch-out. Run it on a firm cutaway stabiliser under woven fabric and add a soft cutaway if youre going onto a stretchy knit. professional digitising software handled the density sequencing so the flower stems dont fight each other where they overlap near the spine area. The fine running stitch hatching on the book fore-edge is exactly what benefits from tight hooping and good stabiliser tension. Slow the machine down slightly for those thin crosshatch lines or they can skip on looser weaves.
Dm me anytime if you want a recommendation on stabiliser brand for your specific fabric, Im happy to help before you hoop. The design is taller than wide, up to 10 inches tall at the largest, which makes it a great candidate for a tote bag front, a hoodie back, or a canvas book bag. One customer stitched the 4-inch version onto a cotton project bag she takes to her book club last winter, and a few club members asked her where she sourced the design. Said she had to explain it was machine embroidery because everyone assumed it was printed.
4 sizes: 3.97x7 inches up to 5.67x10 inches. Best on items where the tall aspect ratio is an asset, not a constraint.

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.
