One More Chapter Skeleton Reader Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The skeleton isnt doing anything scary. Its just sitting with its legs crossed, holding a thick open book in both hands and balancing a steaming mug on one knee. The skull is smiling, or at least doing what skulls do when they're in the middle of a good chapter. Around the outside a loose circular wreath of open-petal flowers and some trailing leaves frames the whole scene, and two small butterflies sit inside the frame near the flowers. "One More Chapter" runs in a curved handwritten script along the bottom, sitting under the skeleton just like a caption. All single colour, all black thread.

Four sizes, from 4.50" wide up to 7.50" wide. Stitch counts are 18,198 at the smallest and 29,413 at the full 7.5-inch size. These are not small numbers for single colour work. Density is 554, and the complexity comes from the anatomy detail in the skeleton, the wreath botanical lines, and the flowing lettering all needing different underlay approaches. The skeleton ribcage section uses denser underlay than the delicate flower petals, customising speeds per zone in Wilcom is how you keep that detail without the petals puffing up.

A customer who runs a bookshop had the 7.5-inch size stitched on canvas tote bags this christmas as staff gifts and said every single person on the team asked for extras. She ordered the same design on aprons the following month, which is usually a good sign. Im not gonna pretend this one is just for halloween either, it works year-round for book lovers.

Back with a medium cutaway on any fabric base. The fine flower petal lines at smaller sizes will drag on knit without cutaway support. Skip topping on smooth quilting cotton but add it on fleece or velvet. Run at a slower machine speed on the skeleton anatomy sections if yours tends to skip on dense fills.
