A hummingbird caught mid-hover, long beak angled toward the nearest sunflower head, wings spread wide to either side. Three sunflower blooms fill the background, big flat petals radiating out with small dark centres, and the bird sits right in the middle of the cluster. The whole thing is clean black outline only, no colour fill, which makes it kinda versatile because the fabric colour becomes part of the design.
The line work is fine and consistent, not chunky cartoon stuff. Wing feathers have individual marks going through them and the hummingbird body has some hatching detail at the neck and breast. Its a one-colour digitise so theres only 1 thread throughout, no colour changes at all. Stitch count sits low at 5,754 on the smallest 3.5-inch up to 12,402 on the 7.5-inch, which means even a beginner machine handles this without drama.
If you want help picturing it on fabric, think a white garden centre apron with the hummingbird at the chest, or cream linen on a botanical cushion cover. A customer last summer ordered it for a garden centre welcome sign panel, she stitched the large size on natural cotton canvas and hung it at the entrance. People stop and look at it apparently. Tearaway stabiliser works perfectly on woven cotton and linen. Use cutaway if youre hooping jersey or anything with stretch.
Pair with black polyester or rayon thread for the cleanest line. The low density at 246 means you can run at normal speed without puckering. Hoop snug because the long fine lines need even tension, especially the wing outlines at the 7.5-inch size. Add colour with fabric choice rather than thread swaps, sage green fabric gives it a herb garden feel, navy linen makes it look more graphic.

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.
