Moon Crater Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Pockmarked moon dotted with shadowed craters, the surface is full on textured. Round full moon, hand-drawn black ink outline holding the edge, and the surface splits roughly in half between sand-cream tones on the left and dusty rose pink on the right. Deep mauve craters scatter across both sides with crosshatched shading inside em, like ink-pen sketching layered over the painterly fill. A few smaller round craters dot the centre and theres one big oval crater near the top right that gives the whole moon a real lopsided lived-in feel.

Im glad I went with the pink-and-sand colourway instead of grey because grey moons read flat in thread, youll miss the texture. Pink moons feel a bunch warmer and look great against indigo or charcoal fabric. The colour count is low, only 5 colours, but the digitising layers em smart so the craters get proper depth without piling on thread changes.

I drew this last winter for a customer making nursery decor for her sons space-themed bedroom, she stitched the largest 7.5 inch on a navy cushion cover and put a star pattern around it. Worked beautiful, shes still got it framed in the nursery. Run the mid 5-inch on a denim tote for everyday carry, or pop the small on the chest of a kids hoodie for a sleepy bedtime feel.

Stitch this on darker fabric. Deep navy, charcoal, indigo or even forest green let the pink craters glow. Skip pale fabric since the dusty pink shadows wont read against the background and youll lose the depth. Run cutaway behind the design, the centre fill is dense at 70k stitches even though the colour change count stays at four. Hoop tight, slow ya machine for the directional crater shading, the satin edge around the perimeter needs a clean run or the moon goes wobbly.
