This bird sits right in the middle of a flowering branch, blooms all around it on both sides, some fully open and some still in bud. Its got that vintage botanical print feeling where the bird and the flowers carry equal visual weight, neither one is just background to the other. The feathers use directional fill stitching so they read with proper depth, and the flower petals get satin with a lighter tip so they come out dimensional rather than flat.
12 colours total: teal and cobalt on the bird, coral pink and warm orange on the flowers, multiple greens on the leaves and stems, brown branch, black detail lines. Its a lotta colour changes but they group into 3 clear sections so setup goes faster than you expect. Density sits at 1,113 which is high, so use cutaway on anything that moves at all. Dont use tearaway on stretch or mid-weight jersey, it wont hold flat.
Spring is the obvious season for this one but honestly I sell these year round. People use em for living room cushions and kitchen curtain tiebacks through all four seasons. This past April a customer used the 7 inch version for the back panel of a fabric journal cover she was gifting, said it looked like something from a proper art market. I love hearing that.
4 sizes: 4.5 inches scaling up to 7.5 wide, heights running from 3.47 to 5.78 inches. The larger sizes have genuinely lovely detail on those flower petals, worth going big if the project allows. Slow your machine speed for the fine satin petal tips on the largest size, it keeps the edges crisp. Skip dark base fabrics completely, teal and those lighter flower tones disappear on dark grounds.
Looks best on cream, warm white, sage green and pale blush fabrics. Those 12 thread colours need a neutral base. Pop it on the front of a natural canvas tote and it looks like something youd find at a craft market, not a download you picked up online.

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.
