These wings are wide and open with air between the feather layers. Theres no fill, just the outline, and that openness is what makes them read the way they do. Quiet. Not dramatic. Theyre the kind of wings you put on something for someone who lost a person they loved, and you dont want the design to shout about it. Five sizes from 3.5 inches to 7.5 inches wide, single colour, works in white, grey, cream, gold, anything depending on what the item is.
Wilcom EmbroideryStudio handled the digitising and the feather outlines have proper satin column work in the quill sections, so the line weight reads consistently across the full span. Stitch counts go 7,361 to 16,124. Pop a medium cutaway under canvas or quilting cotton for clean edges. On a thinner fabric like white cotton poplin, a tearaway and some topping keeps the outline thread from sinking into the weave. The 7.5 inch size is the one most people pick for quilts and large memorial pieces.
I make these specifically with grief gifts in mind. A customer wrote me last autumn saying she had stitched this in pale gold on a cream quilted square and it became part of a memory quilt for her mums passing. She stitched the name and birth year underneath, centred, and said the family cried when they saw it. Those messages are why I keep these designs in the shop. They matter more than any christmas design I sell.
Use it on canvas, cotton, quilting fabric or denim. Stitch in white for a clean sympathy gift, pale gold for something warmer, silver-grey for a more modern feel. Add a name or a date underneath and youve got something that isnt just a design anymore. Works on memory quilts, throw pillows, tote bags, fabric frames. Back it with cutaway stabiliser and go slow on the long horizontal sections. Pick a thread colour that feels right for whoever its for, youll know when you see 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.
