All I Need Is Coffee And My Dog Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Friend asked for the 'all i need is coffee and my dog' quote and I sized it like a kitchen wall poster. The words stack across four lines. All i need sits up top in chunky black caps, then coffee curls through the middle in flowy dark brown brush lettering, then and my drops to the left in smaller caps, then dog spans the bottom in huge bold black type. Middle letter of dog swaps out for a takeaway coffee cup with a paw print stamped right on the front, which is the whole joke of the design.

Coffee word stitches as a thick satin column with directional fill so each curl of the cursive catches light differently than the straight caps, and thats what gives this layout the wall-poster feel. The top word has a couple of tiny black motion-line dashes radiating off, gives it that hand-drawn marker feel. Tiny dashes also fly off either side of the coffee word like a stamped excited swoosh. The and-my row sits inside thin black outline rectangles which is what gives the layout that proper poster grid.

Coffee cup itself uses a beige body with cream lid, simple brown ring detail across the middle, and a dark brown paw print front and centre. 6 colours in total but most of the design is black and brown so the thread swaps stay manageable. The cup uses tatami fill with a clean directional underlay so the body dosent pucker around the round shape.

Im a dog-mum myself so I made this with that crowd in mind. Ranges from 2.94 by 3.51 inches up to 6.29 by 7.51 inches, fits a tote panel or a cushion centre. After her labrador had surgery, one customer ordered three of em last november for a dog-walking groups secret santa. She stitched the medium on cream cotton tea towels and the group passed em around the next walk meet up. She told me everyone clicked instantly with the joke.

For best results pick a tight cotton, light canvas or smooth jersey blend, theres no need to overthink it. Cream, oatmeal, sage green or blush all let the dark coffee tone read clean. Skip dark brown fabric, the script wont read against it. Avoid heavy fleece, the small motion dashes wont survive the pile. Run a medium tearaway behind it, hoop firmly, and add topping film over the hoop if your fabric has any nap. Density runs around 628 spi so this stitches out fast for a quote design. Dm me if the cup wording goes off and ill rework that area.
