Two cartoon geese bumping wings like a fist bump, made for a friend who breeds geese and has absolutely zero chill about goose puns. The bird is a round cartoon goose, white body, head tilted forward with a tiny determined look, wing bent up into an unmistakable fist bump. Above it in chunky hand-lettered arc text it reads Goose Bumps. Its a funny animal pun and thats the whole point.
The goose body runs in flat white satin fills with a soft grey shadow that gives it just enough dimension. Orange beak and feet in solid satin columns, black outlines hold everything clean. The lettering above uses thick chunky column stitching, Wilcom kept the density at 587 so the text stays flat and readable even on the smaller 2.45-inch size without columns merging. 6 colours total, no complex colour changes mid-section.
One customer who keeps backyard geese told me last spring this was the funniest thing she had ordered in months. She put the 4-inch version on a grey sweatshirt and wore it to her local smallholding group. I get a message every so often from someone who says a random stranger laughed at their hoodie, which I think is a pretty good outcome for a goose pun. Pop this on medium-weight cotton or a sweatshirt blank and the outlined cartoon style reads clearly from across a room.
Use a tearaway stabiliser on stable wovens, cutaway on stretchy cotton or fleece. Hoop the fabric snug so the text arc holds consistent across the full run. Pop the 3.5 to 4 inch version on a hoodie chest, its wide enough to catch the pun from a few feet. Skip anything below 2.5 inches if your machine struggles with tight column stitching, the bobbin tension needs to be dialled in for the smallest hoop sizes.
9 sizes from 2.45 up to 5.25 inches wide, 10,794 to 23,156 stitches. Drop me a message if any format causes trouble and Ill rebuild it.

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.
