Cardinals Appear When Angels Are Near Embroidery Design, Instant Download

A small red cardinal sits on a long bare branch at the top, then below it the quote fills out across 4 or 5 text lines mixing red cursive, black block caps and black small caps. Cardinals is in big red flowing script, appear when in tight black caps, angels back in red cursive, are near in black again. Theres a red leaf and small scroll flourish at the bottom corners rounding the whole thing out. Its a square-ish composition that fills the hoop space well and the text mixing stops it from looking like a plain typography piece.

2 colours, red and black, so only 1 colour change during the run. Density is 453 stitches per square inch across the text fills, and the bird up top has directional stitching on the red feather sections. 6 sizes from 2.42 inches across max to 7.23 inches. The largest size hits 24,545 stitches because of all that text, so slow your machine down on that one. The smallest is 8,081 stitches. Cleaned up in my professional tool and spent time on the script lettering, keeping the cursive letters legible at smaller sizes. Use a cutaway stabiliser under everything, the dense text sections need it. Hoop the fabric firm and centre the full design including the bottom corner accents before you run it.

My customers buy this one mostly for cushion covers, tote bags and remembrance wall art. This year one customer stitched the 5-inch face on cream linen for a memorial cushion she kept on the chair her mum used to sit in. this is the kind that where customers often tell me later what they made it for, and its always something personal. Stitch on cream, ivory or white fabric for the best result, both colours read warmly against pale backgrounds. Dont rush the colour change mid-run, the density picks up again quickly after the thread swap.
