The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A photograph of hand embroidery shot square on from directly above, far enough back that the entire stitched motif is visible in one piece, with the indigo denim filling the whole frame edge to edge and no table or background surface showing anywhere. A simple blocky pixel like figure worked in cross stitch with bright cotton floss, every stitch a visible X of thread sitting proudly above the weave, the grid of the design clearly readable and the subject instantly recognisable. Diagonal twill of the denim filling the rest of the frame, soft even daylight, whole motif in focus, no props, no lettering.
