This hummingbird is mid-flight and the wings are honestly the showpiece. Stretched wide. Catching that purple to pink gradient. Tail feathers fanning out below. The lil bird hovers in the centre of a bunch of black scrollwork vines and 4 lotus-style pink blooms that wrap up around the body.
Seven colours run through the fill, from hot pink at the wing base bleeding into magenta and then deep purple at the tip. Soft lilac sits underneath for the belly highlight. Black ink stitching carries all the floral swirls and the wing outline. Flowers in two pink tones sit at the top right and the bottom, balancing the bird so it doesnt look lopsided in the hoop.
Last summer I drew this with my mums garden in mind. Shes been obsessed with hummingbirds since the feeder went up on her porch and I wanted somethin more decorative than a plain bird outline. One customer ordered the seven and a half inch size for a kitchen wall hoop and she sent photos showing the colours catching morning light through the window. Honestly its a real lush kinda look.
Stitch on cream linen, soft grey cotton or pale lilac canvas for the cleanest read. White also works but the pink can feel washed out without abit of contrast behind it. Skip dark navy because the black scrollwork disappears. Place the design slightly off-centre on towels or a lil pillow front so the scrollwork has room to breathe.
Density sits moderate at 18k stitches on smallest, 47k on largest across nine sizes. Use a medium cutaway stabiliser on woven cotton, tear-away on a sturdy canvas tote. Hoop tight and run a topping if youre stitching on terry or fleece. Knock me on chat if the design comes out lopsided, ill recheck centring.

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.
