Highland cow with floral crown is the cottagecore showpiece of my farmhouse range, kind of a fave for botanical garden and flowers themed kits. Cows looking straight at you with shaggy reddish brown fur falling across the face, big curved horns sticking out sideways, a soft pink nose just visible through the fringe. A crown of white daisies sits on top of the head and a garland of green leaves curves up around the chin.
Its done in 11 thread colours total, warm reddish brown and lighter caramel for the shaggy fur, dusty pink for the nose, sage and forest green for the leaves, white satin daisy petals with mustard yellow centres, brown for the horns. Directional satin stitching across the furs following the natural hair flow so the coat reads as proper shaggy not flat fill.
9 sizes available, smallest is 3.26 inches across for sleeve placement, largest is 6.99 inches wide for cushion or apron front piece. Stitch count climbs hard since the fills dense, biggest size hits 67k. Run a slower machine speed on the largest version, the satin fills heavy work for home machines.
Last spring i had a customer order this for a stack of farmhouse market totes she sells, ended up reordering twice for boutique gift shops in the hudson valley. Mum and grandma audiences buy this for tea towels almost daily, particularly anyone refreshing their kitchen towards a sage and cream country palette.
Stitch on cotton, linen, denim, twill and lightweight canvas. Skip thin polyester and chiffon since the dense fur will pucker. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser, the directional satin needs steady backing or the daisy edges distort. Pre wash sage or cream fabric once before hooping so the brown threads dont pick up dye bleed, you wont regret that step.

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.
