Mother Duck and Ducklings Swimming

About this design

This charming embroidery design features a mother duck gliding across the water with two little ducklings paddling along behind her. Worked in smooth satin and fill stitches with crisp royal blue outlining, each bird is stitched in soft buttercup and golden yellow with warm amber shading on the wings, a small dark eye and a rounded bill, while the smallest duckling adds a touch of tan. A wavy blue line runs beneath them to suggest ripples on a pond, keeping the composition light and airy on a clean cream background. The gentle palette and horizontal layout make this ideal for borders and small hoops. Stitch it onto baby bibs, burp cloths, baby blankets, hooded bath towels, onesies and nursery pillows, or add it to tea towels, hand towels, tote bags, quilt blocks, pillowcases, curtain borders, aprons and children's t-shirts. This sweet pond motif makes a lovely gift for baby showers, new baby welcomes, christenings, first birthdays, Easter and spring celebrations, bath time sets and craft fair projects. Compatible with popular embroidery machine formats including DST, PES, EXP, JEF, VP3, HUS, XXX, PEC, and more.
