{"product_id":"blue-heron","title":"Blue Heron Embroidery Design, Great Blue Heron Bird Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeres the blue heron and its got a proper naturalist quality to it. The bird is standing full height, that long S-curved neck pulled back like herons do when theyre just waiting. Its facing right, beak pointing forward, one foot slightly forward in the shallows. The feathering on the wings is done with directional stitching so ya can actually see the individual feather layers, not just a flat blue fill. Colour palette is slate blue on the main wing panels, pale grey on the neck and breast, white chest markings, black cap and shoulder patches, and that golden amber beak and legs. The eye has a tiny circle of orange detail in it which honestly is kinda the whole thing. Stitch count goes from 6,069 on from the petite 3.5 to 15,893 on the 7.49-inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarsh wildlife photographers, birdwatchers, coastal lifestyle shops, these are the people gonna be into this one. I sold a batch to a birding club in the carolinas last autumn who wanted em for their members tote bags. The club organiser sent me a photo of about twenty members all walking in with the same heron tote and it looked really genuinely lovely. Also had a kayak outfitter in florida grab it for guide staff shirts, works great on olive and earth-toned fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on white, cream, light grey, oatmeal linen or soft sage for best results. Olive and khaki work well too if youre going for a field-naturalist kit look. Skip bright colours because the palette is subtle and needs a neutral ground to read properly. Pop the bigger size on a tote bag face or cushion cover, use the smaller sizes on cap fronts and shirt pockets. Back firm cutaway on woven fabrics, dont rush the feather sections, and ease your machine speed for the fine satin columns on the bill and feet so the thread lays flat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46379616075926,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/BlueHeronEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1778411943","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/blue-heron","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
