Parent-child connection in one quiet image. She sent me a photo last christmas of this stitched onto a linen tote she gave her mum, and I was proper suprised how emotional it looked in person. Thats the thing with silhouette designs like this one - the simplicity does most of the work. Its just a tall figure and a small child walking together, holding hands, with a few grass tufts at the bottom giving it a sense of ground and movement. Nothing complicated, but it reads immediately.
Two colours only so thread changes arent an issue. Pop a cutaway stabiliser under knit fabrics and a tearaway on wovens - the black satin fills come out dense and clean at every size and the negative space inside the figures stays sharp. Stitch the black body first, then the white accent layer. The density sits around 297 so dont fiddle with it in your software.
9 sizes from 3.5 inches up to just under 7.5 inches. The larger sizes work well as framed hoop art or on the front of a keepsake bag. Works for any parent-child pairing - mothers and daughters, dads and sons, grandparents with grandkids. Send me a message if you have any questions, happy to help.

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.
