Its a white duck standing upright in that slightly formal three-quarter pose ducks get into when theyre trying to look dignified. The body is a clean white satin fill with light sage on the belly area suggesting feather layering. Small tail feathers flick out at the back in a slightly darker white. The orange bill and feet are that warm proper-duck orange and the feet have individual toe lines picked out in outline stitching.
The bow is what makes it. Its big, probably bigger than is strictly realistic for a duck, teal green with fine corduroy-style horizontal lines running through the ribbon and a light sage highlight across the top fold. Six colours: white, sage, orange, an orange-red for the feet shading, deep teal for the bow, and black for the outline. Six stops, no complicated changes.
Stitch count is light, 5.9k at starting small up to 19k at 7.5 inches. Use tearaway for cotton woven bases or linen, this doesnt need cutaway. The outline stitching does the structural work so stabiliser choice is flexible. Stitch on white, cream, pale yellow or mint fabric. Also works well on natural cotton or linen where the white body thread has something to contrast against. Skip dark fabric unless you plan to swap the body fill to match. I had a customer put this on cream baby onesies last spring as a small business batch and she sold out at a market in about an hour, the simplicity of the design at that small size is really clean.

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.
