Mother and Child Riding a Bicycle

About this design

This tender embroidery design pictures a mother pedaling a delicately outlined bicycle while her small daughter rides along behind her, one hand raised as a kite dances on a long string above them. The woman wears a wide-brim red and cream sun hat, a soft floral-print blouse, and a striped orange and red skirt, while the little girl sports a striped top, red shorts, and pigtails flying in the breeze. Fine grey outline stitching forms the bicycle wheels, drifting clouds, and wispy kite line, contrasting beautifully with the richly filled figures in warm coral, red, cream, and pink tones for a light, storybook illustration effect. Full of freedom, sunshine, and family warmth, it is a wonderful choice for tote bags, canvas shoppers, tea towels, aprons, cushion covers, table runners, quilt blocks, baby and toddler quilts, nursery wall hangings, t-shirts, dresses, denim jackets, book bags, journal covers, and framed hoop art. It makes a heartfelt gift for Mother's Day, birthdays, baby showers, housewarmings, spring and summer celebrations, and keepsake presents for mothers, daughters, grandmothers, cycling enthusiasts, and lovers of vintage-style illustration. Nostalgic, gentle, and full of movement, it stitches beautifully on cotton, linen, canvas, denim, and quilters' muslin. Compatible with popular embroidery machine formats including DST, PES, EXP, JEF, VP3, HUS, XXX, PEC, and more.
