Funny Cow Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This cow has absolutely no chill. Its a close-up portrait of a black-and-white cow face and the first thing ya notice is the hair, this thick wild mass of black curls flying off to the sides like she just stuck her hoof in a power socket. Gold horns poking up through the chaos. Eyes a lil bloodshot, wide and staring straight at ya. Pink snout dead centre. And then the tongue, just hanging out the bottom of the mouth in a pink lil flop. I honestly cant stop looking at this cow.

The stitching is proper dense portrait work. Directional satin columns follow the jaw and cheek bones, the curly hair is done in tight tatami fills with individual curl lines on top, and the nose has that soft satin sheen you only really get from Wilcom digitising. Its 10 colours in total, mostly a mix of black, charcoal, white and cream for the fur, with a hit of pink on the nose and tongue and a warm gold on the horns. 81k stitches at the largest 7.92-inch size, 45k on the smallest.

I get pings about this one from farm mums and country gift shop owners more than any other animal face I do. A customer last month ordered 40 units on white tea towels for a farm stay gift shop and sent me photos. Looked brilliant. The contrast of the mad curly hair against clean linen is kinda perfect.

Stitch on light or cream fabric so the white fur reads properly. Cotton, canvas, linen all work great. Skip dark backgrounds here because the fur detailing gets lost. Pop the smaller 5.46-inch version on apron chest pockets. The big 8.5-inch version is stunning on a cotton kitchen towel or tote bag front.

Use cutaway stabiliser underneath, its dense stitching and the curl detail needs a stable base. Hoop firm, dont rush the hooping step. And give the bobbin thread a good check before you run the curls. Holler if the file throws any errors and Ill send a clean remap same day.
