The cloud has a face and its asleep. Closed eyes done in those wiggly multiple-line lashes that look hand-drawn, and two little blush circles sitting high on the cheeks like its been pinched. The whole body is white satin fill with a soft rounded outline so it looks puffy rather than flat. Underneath it theres a rainbow made of four pastel bands in green, pink, yellow and blue, each one a separate colour stop, curving out like a hammock the cloud is resting on.
Four red stars float around the outside, two on each side, pointing inward like they're orbiting the whole scene. Its a kinda classic nursery illustration style done properly in thread, not the clipart version you see everywhere. Eight colours, 9 sizes from 2.88 inches up to 6.17 inches wide, with the height going to 7.5 max on the biggest, so theres enough size range for everything from a small onesie chest to a full nursery pillow front.
Hoop on a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser for anything stretchy like knit onesies or swaddle fabric. The white cloud section stitches first and its dense. Use a topping on fleece or terry to stop those satin stitches sinking into the pile. Pick a 75/11 needle for wovens, bump to 90/14 on thick fleece. Add a water-soluble topping on minky or velboa and the white will stitch clean. I sold quite a few of these last summer to people doing nursery setups and one customer sent me a photo of it stitched on a pale yellow quilted wall hanging for a rainbow-themed nursery room, it looked genuinely lovely. Send me the order number if the download link doesnt come through and Ill sort it right 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.
