A linen kitchen towel is honestly where this one belongs first. Hang it off an oven handle on natural cream linen and the coral, golden yellow, and purple all pop against that off-white weave in a way that looks almost framed. The full quote is "To The World You Are A Mother But To Your Family You Are The World" and its split across six stacked lines with two giant cursive words doing the heavy lifting. "Mother" sits in the centre and "World" closes at the bottom, both in that deep purple satin-stitch script with a proper shine. Everything else is rounded block caps alternating coral and golden yellow. Yellow daisies flank the upper half, pink tulips corner the lower section, all on bright green stems.
Dense design. At the 7.5 inch size its sitting at 31,010 stitches so hoop with a cutaway stabiliser not a tearaway. Satin columns on lettering this scale need a solid base or you'll get distortion around the cursive swells. I add a water-soluble topping on terry towels so those satin stitches dont sink into the pile. The directional underlay on the block caps keeps the tatami fill flat through all five colour changes. Dont rush the bobbin tension check before you start, there are a fair few stops on this one.
A teacher sent me a photo last month of the 5-inch stitched on natural tan canvas. Purple cursive looked brilliant against it. Pick the 3.5 inch for a bib or small burp cloth, that size drops on without crowding and the satin edges stay tidy. Stitch it centred about 3 inches from a towel hem, or hoop a 14-inch linen square and use the 7-inch full size for a piece that goes straight into a frame.
Message me a photo if the border stitching looks thin.
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.
- Kitchen linen tea towelThe 7-inch fills a standard linen towel face without leaving awkward blank space at the edges.
- Mother's Day framed hoop giftStitch onto a 14-inch cream cotton hoop with cutaway backing and this one's ready to hang same day.
- Canvas tote bagA school-fair seller I know does the 5-inch on tan canvas totes every Mother's Day and sells out fast.
- Baby bib or burp clothThe 3.5 inch drops onto a bib without crowding it, satin edges stay tidy at that smaller scale.
- Apron chest panelCentre the 6-inch on an apron chest panel so the purple cursive reads clear from across the kitchen.
- Fleece throw blanketIvory fleece shows the coral and yellow block caps better than most fabrics I've tried with this design.
- Nursery wall linen hoopHoop a square of washed linen with a cutaway stabiliser and the 7-inch stitches up into a piece worth framing.

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.
