Stitched this fox over a weekend and it took longer than I expected because the crown of flowers alone has about 9 individual elements. The fox sits upright and centred, facing straight forward with big round eyes and tiny rosy blush circles on the cheeks. Russet orange fill across the body and tail, cream white on the chest and inner ear areas, dark brown tips on the ears. Right at the top of the head sits a mix of white daisy petals with yellow button centres, small yellow spray flowers, and bright green leaves tucked in between. Down at the base, orange daisies with thin petals and yellow centres flank both sides of the fox body along with green leafy stems.
12 colour stops and this one earns every single one of them. Density is 1,396 stitches per square inch, which is on the high end, so youre going to need a proper medium-weight cutaway stabiliser and a slow stitch speed on the fur fills. Smallest size is 3.1 by 3.51 inches at about 30k stitches. Biggest is 6.63 by 7.51 at nearly 70k. Thats a serious stitch-out and youll want to use a multi-needle machine for this at the large end, single needle can do it but budget close to an hour.
Ive sent this one to people doing nursery quilts, girls room cushions, woodland baby shower sets, and tote bags for cottage mums who want something that looks like they commissioned it from a proper illustrator. A customer posted me the photos back in March, large version stitched on a cream cushion, said three people at a baby shower asked where she bought the cushion. Its that kind of design. On white or cream the fox colouring really jumps. Best results on smooth quilting cotton, dense woven canvas or firm linen. Avoid terry and fleece at the large sizes, the fur detail disappears.
Use a cutaway stabiliser always. Float a water-soluble topping on anything with even a little texture. Those dense directional fills in the body sections run close parallel rows, so if the fabric shifts mid-hoop the torso and body fills wont line up with the outline. Hoop it tight, dont float, and run the underlay before the fill layers.

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.
