A calico cat sitting upright on a pebbled garden floor, head tilted up toward a monarch butterfly perched on a flower stem just above its nose. Second butterfly hovers near the left ear. The cat has all three calico colours accounted for: dark grey-black patches across the back, ginger-orange on the sides and face, white chest and front paws. A pale pink rose sits on the left with green stems and leaves rising behind the whole figure. Its genuinely one of the most detailed garden scenes in the range, honestly you can tell from the first glance its something a bit different.

14 colours, 1,229 stitch density, 13 colour changes across 9 sizes. At density that high ya realise the black and ginger patches have actual directional fur texture rather than flat blocks, and the butterfly wings carry their own veining detail. Size range is 4.49x3.33 in (27,430 stitches) at the smallest up to 8.5x6.29 in (65,719 stitches) at the top. professional embroidery software throughout. Back with a 2oz poly cutaway and keep the hoop frame tight. Stitch on cream or ivory cotton, thats where it has room to breathe properly against a pale ground. Skip anything with a heavy weave, the fine wing veining needs a smooth base to register cleanly.

I get messages about this one pretty regularly from cat people who found it on their own and came back after finishing a project. Last winter a buyer sent a note saying shed stretched the largest size in a 9 in wooden hoop and mounted it as nursery wall art, said it came out looking like a proper illustrated print. Its also popular as a denim jacket back panel at the bigger sizes, people go for it alot that way too. Text through the shop contact if something goes sideways with your files and Ill get it fixed.

Behind every stitch

About the artist

Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site

Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.

That's the joy I work for.

The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
