Bring storybook sweetness to children’s sewing with this pair of hugging cherubs, stitched in a whimsical cartoon style. Their overlapping halos, curled hair, rounded wings and flowing ribbon give the design a gentle sense of movement, while the pink, light blue, yellow, white, orange and cream palette keeps it light and affectionate. It suits baby gifts, christening keepsakes, nursery décor and anyone making for children who wants something softer and more characterful than a plain motif.
With nine thread colours and moderate density, it has enough detail to show the angels’ embrace clearly without looking heavy. It works especially well on baby blankets, quilt blocks, pinafores, cardigan backs, cushion covers and soft cotton pyjamas, where the black outlines help the shapes stay crisp against pale fabrics. If you like sweet, old-fashioned nursery imagery with a playful finish, this design has a warm, tender look that reads beautifully in stitch.
