So theres a very fluffy baby cow sitting down looking like it owns the place. Its wearing a little white pom-pom beanie, both horns sticking out either side, and the signature highland fringe hanging down between its eyes. Above the cow in curved hand-lettered script it says So apparently I have an and then in big bold block letters below it says Attitude. The design is fully self-aware and thats exactly what makes it work.
9 colours which is restrained for a design with this much texture. The fur fills are the main event. Wilcom used layered short-stitch fills in 2 shades of charcoal grey and a warm brown to build up the shaggy coat, with the directional stitching following the actual fur growth direction on the belly, chest, and fringe. Theres actual depth to it. You see it best on the 6-inch and larger sizes where the detail has room to breathe.
A customer messaged me last winter saying she gave this on a cushion as a white elephant gift and the recipient refused to put it back in the pool. She used the 6-inch size on a dark charcoal cotton cover and said the off-white lettering looked sharp from across the room. 11 sizes on this one rather than the usual 9, starting at 5.51 by 4.2 inches, so the minimum application is a cushion or tote front panel.
Stitch this on charcoal, navy, or black fabric and the cream lettering and beanie pop properly. Dark grounds work better here because the grey fur reads as a complete shape rather than blending into pale backgrounds. Use firm cutaway stabiliser throughout. Slow the machine for the typography sections, crisp satin columns need a controlled pass to stay clean.

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.
