Add wild flight to your stitching with this stylised eagle diving for prey, shown with wide spread wings, hooked beak and outstretched talons. The black, white, gold, yellow and brown-toned palette gives it definition without losing the bold silhouette, so the bird reads clearly at a glance. It suits anyone drawn to birds of prey, nature themes and adventurous motifs, from wildlife enthusiasts to children who love powerful animals.
With nine thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough detail to show the layered feathers and downward sweep without looking fussy. It would make a strong centrepiece on the back of a denim jacket, the front of a hoodie, a canvas rucksack or a sturdy wildlife-themed cushion. The design also works well on twill, sweatshirt fleece and other stable fabrics where the movement of the wings and the contrast in the feathers can really stand out.
