The chick is barely half out of the egg, wings pushed against the shell halves, beak open in that slightly baffled first-look expression baby animals always have. The egg itself splits into two chunky pastel halves, pale lilac on one side, soft mint on the other, with a craggly break line across the centre. Tiny pink spring flowers sit at the base where the shell meets the ground. Its not overly detailed, the shapes are deliberately chunky so the fills read clean at small sizes.
Five colours at a density of 358, which is low and intentional. You dont need a heavy cutaway stabiliser for this one, a medium cutaway or even a firm tearaway on stable woven cotton is fine because the stitch density is kept light throughout. The smallest 3.09-inch version sits at 7,594 stitches, barely a five minute run. The full 6.16-inch lands at 17,645 stitches with a finished height of 8 inches. Underlay is minimal on the chick fill because the narrow satin trim around the beak and eye defines the shape without needing a dense base. The digitising kept colour sequences grouped so you only switch thread 5 times total.
I get a decent amount of Easter orders starting mid-February, mostly mums doing baby first milestone items. Last spring a customer stitched this onto a cream muslin bib for her daughters very first Easter Sunday and sent me a photo of the whole egg hunt setup. Genuinely lovely. Use good quality tearaway on quilting cotton if youre making a banner, it pulls cleanly without disturbing the outline stitching around the chick.
Stick to light backgrounds, cream, pale yellow, white quilting cotton. On pastels it almost disappears so go at least a tone contrast, the lilac egg on sage green fabric works particularly well. Hoop snug, not stretched, you want the fabric relaxed under the needle so the low-density fills dont pucker along the egg curve. Pick a thread colour that contrasts enough on the chick body or the pastel reads as almost-white on almost-white.
Holler if you run into any download issues and Ill sort the file out for you straight away.

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.
