Cute Mouse on Lotus Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The mouse is tiny and round, sitting right in the middle of a fully open pink lotus bloom like it owns the place. Both paws are up holding a thin thread that runs all the way up to a big red and blue butterfly hanging above, wings spread wide, floating like a kite on a string. The flower petals fan out in shades of dusty pink and magenta, layered so you can see the depth between them. Below theres a flat round lily pad in grass green on a patch of soft periwinkle water.

Seventeen colours in this one, which sounds like alot but each colour is doing real work. The mouse body uses warm brown with a lighter cream belly and tiny pink inner ears. The butterfly wings get a red base with a blue outline band and small dot details along the edge, the antenna is a single satin column run. Wilcom digitised the petal arrangement with directional stitching that fans inward from the tip to the base, so they have a gentle curved look, not flat. I been using this technique in botanical designs for a while and it realy makes a difference on flowers.

A customer wrote me last february about this one, she wanted it for a baby girls nursery hoop and sent me a photo of it stitched on ivory muslin in a round frame. The design was 5 inches and it looked like a proper illustration hanging on the wall. Since then I get similar orders from mums doing nursery decor and from people making gifts for young girls who love animals and nature things.

Stitch on white or ivory fabric, cream cotton, pale blush muslin or light mint jersey for the cleanest colour read. Hoop it snug, the thin butterfly thread detail needs proper tension or it skips. Use tearaway stabiliser on stable cotton and a light cutaway on jersey, dont skip the backing. Send a chat if the file doesnt load in your software and Ill resend the right format for your machine.
