The design is centered on a lil turkey girl with the cutest round brown face, big cartoon eyes with white highlights, and a fat red ribbon sitting right on top of her head. She peeks out from behind a big polka-dot number 1 in burnt orange with white circle cutouts scattered across it. Two red heart-shaped balloons float up above her, and across the top and bottom runs chunky bubble lettering that says My and 1st Thanksgiving in that same bold orange. Its got that baby milestone card feeling but stitched out in thread, which is alot more special honestly.
Six colours in the file: brown for the turkey face and wattle area, burnt orange for the number and lettering, red for the ribbon and balloon fills, black for the outlines, white for the dot cutouts and eye highlights, and a deep orange accent Wilcom used on the text shadow layer. 5 sizes from 3.50 inches tall up to 7.50 inches, stitch count going from 10,530 on the smallest right up to 26,723 on the biggest. Theres enough detail in the ribbon loops and balloon outlines that the bigger sizes really pop off the fabric.
I made this one specifically for new grandparents and parents doing baby first-year photo props. One customer ordered it last november for her daughters very first thanksgiving and put it on a cream cotton onesie, added the babys name underneath in simple chain stitch. She sent me photos and it looked so good on that white background. But since then I get messages from daycare crafters too, asking about using it on lil felt banners and canvas tote favours for toddler thanksgiving parties.
Stitch on a light cotton or cream fleece onesie for that soft newborn vibe. Pop the smaller 3.5-inch on a bib pocket and the bigger 7.5-inch across the front panel of a onesie or toddler sweatshirt. Skip dark fabric here, the orange and brown dont hold their warmth against a dark ground. Use a tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton, cutaway on any stretch jersey. Hoop the fabric snug and run a slow speed on the polka-dot section, those individual white circles have short jump stitches between em that can pull if the fabric shifts.
Holler at me if the file gives you trouble loading into your machine software and ill sort it out fast.

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.
