Forest Lake Nature Scene Embroidery Design, Instant Download

A customer who does outdoor gear gifts kept asking me last winter for a forest lake scene with actual depth to it, not just a single tree or animal. So I went with this: a mountain range behind, tall pines on both sides, a dense treeline in the middle, and still water in the foreground picking up a pale blue reflection. Five colours in total, suprised how well the earthy green-brown-blue palette reads at the small sizes too.

Run a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser under it before you hoop. Nine sizes from 2.94 inches up to 6.3 wide, counts climbing from 15,000 at the smallest to 40,000 at full size. Dont skip the cutaway stabiliser, the scene has multiple fill zones running at different angles and you need everything solid before the brown mountain satin goes down. Use a light topping on any fabric with surface texture so the fine pine detail doesnt disappear into the weave. Pop a tearaway under light woven cotton if you dont want cutaway showing through on the reverse. The file was digitised through Wilcom, and the transition between the pine treeline and mountain fill lands without any overlap or gap at the horizon line.

Put it on khaki, cream, or canvas and the colours land exactly right. Try it on a forest green tote where the pines blend into the background and only the mountains and water show through. That subtle layering effect. Thats actually one of the nicest versions Ive seen people do with this one.

Text me if you have sizing or stabiliser questions and Ill help you fix it.
