I started this design last april after a mum on instagram, she runs a farm sanctuary, sent me a long note about her autistic son who loves chickens. The rainbow chicken made of puzzle pieces was her idea, I just digitised it. Took me about two weeks to get the puzzle-piece outline crisp at the small sizes.
11 colours run through this. 9 sizes total, 1.84 inches wide on the smallest hoop up to 3.94 wide tallest at 7.5 inches. Stitch counts 10581 small to twenty five thousand four eighty four big. Density 862 is high, the puzzle blocks need that to keep colours from bleeding into each other. Hoop a heavy cutaway. 75/11 sharp needle. Slow your machine. Theres a fabric I always grab for this run. One thing the hard way taught me here. Heres my go-to fabric for this one.
The customer who started it all sewed the 6 inch onto her sons school bag for valentines day, she sent a photo. He grins ear to ear. Thats why I keep doing this work, it ends up meaning more than just thread on fabric. The white chickens at the bottom add the message without screaming it.
Use this on tee fronts, quilt centre blocks, school bag patches, hoodie chest, denim jacket back, throw pillow front, framed nursery decor. Stay clear of thin knits, the dense puzzle fills tunnel without proper backing. Email me on chat if you want a colour swap and Ill rework it inside two days.

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.
