This goose is walking and reading at the same time and doesnt care what you think about it. Thats the energy. The white body carries grey directional stitching on the wing sections so you get actual feather depth rather than a flat fill. Two pink blush dots on the cheeks, round black eye, orange beak and those chunky orange feet poking out at the bottom. The book has a blue cover with the teal pages fanned open, so it reads very clearly as an open book even at smaller sizes.
My niece is obsessed with book-themed things and I made this one with her in mind honestly. 11 colours running through this design, theres more going on than it looks, the grey shading on the body alone takes 3 or 4 thread changes to get right. Stitch count is 19,287 at the smallest and rises to 58,780 for the largest size. professional tools did the satin column work so the outlines on the goose body hold clean edges even when youre stitching at 3.5 inches wide.
9 sizes available, ranging from 3.5 x 3.22 inches up to 7.51 x 6.89 inches. That larger size is gorgeous on a tote bag front panel. Go with a knit-friendly cutaway for stretchy jersey or knit fabrics, tearaway on cotton tote bags and linen. The goose sits on a small ground shadow so it looks grounded rather than floating on the fabric.
Brilliant on tote bags, sweatshirts, throw pillows and kids backpacks. I had a customer pick this up for a daycare reading-corner pillow last August, and she said the kids kept pointing at the goose during story time. Avoid dark navy or black without running a light water-soluble topping first, that white plumage needs real contrast behind it to read properly.

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.
