Solid black silhouette, person seated cross-legged in lotus pose, hair knotted up with a tiny flower sitting right at the top. Thats the base. Then this big open sunflower bursts out from the lower left of the figure, petals rendered in white outline stitching against the dark fill. Leaves and botanical sprigs scattered around it, some inside the silhouette shape, some spilling out the sides. Its one colour technically but it dosent look like it because of the way the directional tatami and satin stitching work together to carve out all that floral detail.
Five sizes in this file, from 3.51 x 3.14 inches up to 7.51 x 6.73 inches. Stitch count runs from about 11,337 on the smallest up to 28,867 on the largest, so the bigger versions have alot going on in that floral section. You'll want cutaway stabiliser underneath, not tearaway. The density on this one sits at 571 and with the directional fill in the petals you really need a stable base or you'll get pull on the underlay. Topping helps on fleece and terry but on smooth cotton twill or canvas its usually fine without.
Last week a customer ordered this for a yoga studio gift set and she asked if it would work on both tote bags and spa towels. It does. Had a quilter flip the colour scheme and stitch the whole silhouette in cream thread on charcoal denim, which looked really sharp. Dont be afraid to swap threads if your fabric is already dark. On navy linen it stitches out beautifully with just that one change.
Try it centred on the chest of a linen shirt or hooped onto a cotton canvas pouch. Skip iron-on backing on delicate jersey, use a tearaway base with a water-soluble topping instead and you'll get crisp petal edges. Place it slightly lower than you think on tote bags, theres more visual weight at the bottom with that sunflower and it centres better a touch lower. Add a jump stitch trim at the floral border seam and you'll keep the bobbin thread from pulling through on the underlay passes.
Drop me a line if your thread keeps breaking on the dense bits. Happy to help.

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.
