Cartoon puppy peeking over a wooden plank fence with both paws draped over the edge, big shiny brown eyes looking right up, floppy ears hanging out wide. The fur runs cream on the face and warm tan on the crown and ears, with a chocolate brown nose smack in the middle and tiny stitched freckles on each cheek. Yellow daisies and two big sunflowers with deep brown centres sit around the head, and tall green leaf blades fan out behind, filling the corners.
I drew this one back in march after a customer messaged asking for a fence-peek puppy specifically for a baby shower set. Petals are golden-yellow, leaves are a fresh mid-green, the fence wood is light oak with subtle plank lines stitched in. Five colour stops on the puppy alone for that proper shaded fur look, then the rest goes on the floral and fence layers.
Stitch on white, cream, butter yellow or pale blue cotton. Skip patterned fabric, the design carries 15 colour changes already and the busy background fights the floral detail. Pop a sturdy cutaway stabiliser behind knit fabrics like a baby onesie or fleece blanket, the puppys head fill is dense and youll need the support at over 23k stitches on the smallest size.
9 sizes from 3.5 inch up to 7.5 inch, stitch range 23k to 57k, density rated 1383 spi so its a heavier stitchout than a typical cartoon. Use polyester thread for kids stuff, it dont fade through wash cycles. Run the colour order as printed: background flowers first, then leaves, then fence, then puppy fur, nose and eyes last so they cap the layered fills cleanly.
Pop the 4 inch on a bib pocket, run the 6 inch on a nursery cushion centre. Send a screenshot if anything looks weird and ill rebuild fast.

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.
