The hummingbird sits mid-hover to the right of the flower stem, wings angled back and that long needle beak pointing straight at the biggest bloom. The bird body is built up in layers, bright purple throat patch, yellow breast stripe, jade green back and wings fading into a blue-green at the tips. The flowers are cotton candy pink, five petals each, with tiny jade green centres and long looping stems.
What I really like about this one is how open the flower stitching is. Wilcom used fine running lines on the petals rather than packed satin fill, so you get a kinda sketchy botanical feel instead of a solid blob of pink. The bird is the opposite, dense and shiny with satin column wings. That contrast between the light flower linework and the solid jewel-toned bird is what makes it work on white or cream fabric especially well.
I get messages from mums asking about this one for spring gifts. A customer last april ordered it for her daughters first embroidery project on a white linen apron and sent me the result, came out gorgeous. Nine ranging 3.5-7.5 scaling 7.5 wide, stitch counts going from about 10k on the smallest to 22k on the biggest. Its a pretty friendly density for such a detailed piece, those open petal runs are what keeps the count manageable.
Pair poly-mesh under woven cotton or linen, it lifts away cleanly behind those open flower lines and doesnt leave bulk. Add a topping of water-soluble film if youre stitching on terry towelling or any pile fabric so the running stitch flower lines dont sink into the loops. Avoid very dark fabrics, the pink cotton candy flowers just dont read on navy or black.
Drop me a chat if the file doesnt load right in your software and ill check the format for ya.

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.
