Half the design is door, half is dog. That pale blue door fills the left side with a satin fill that picks up a subtle plank direction, and the chocolate puppy cranes around the edge from the right. That setup gives you two strong colour blocks working together, the blue and the warm brown sit kinda far apart on the colour wheel but they really work here. Eight colours total, density at 613, and the 8.5-inch version runs to 31,792 stitches. my software ran the digitising and sorted the colour order so youre not re-hooping or making unnecessary thread cuts mid-run.
The eyes are the key detail on this one, wide and slightly worried-looking, outlined in dark thread with a small highlight dot that keeps them from going flat. On lighter fabrics that chocolate fur can look really rich, especially on cream or ivory. Stitch it on a medium cutaway stabiliser. The pale door section especially benefits from a proper underlay pass first, otherwise satin fill on a wide block like that tends to pull and shift. Send a chat if the underlay isnt already baked into your version and Ill point you to the right file settings.
Sizes run from 4.5 to 8.5 inches wide across nine files. Last week a customer who makes novelty cushions sent me their version on a cream pillowcase at the 6-inch size, the puppy face really popped against the light background, the cream muzzle almost blended into the fabric which made the dark eyes and nose stand out more. Pick a contrasting base colour if you want the full design to read clearly. Use the 5.5-inch on a standard tea towel or the larger sizes on a pillow front.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Novelty cushions and throw pillow covers for dog loversThe 6 to 7-inch versions fill a pillow front panel beautifully and the curious expression makes people smile immediately.
- Tea towels and kitchen linens with a pet-themed humour vibeStitch it on a natural linen tea towel at 5.5 inches for a kitchen gift that actually gets used.
- Dog owner tote bags and zip pouchesWorks well centred on a canvas tote -- the sky blue door reads strongly even on coloured bag fabric.
- Kids room door hangers or fabric wall artPrinted on cream felt and mounted on a wooden ring, the puppy peeking concept is very popular as nursery wall art.
- Pet-themed baby blankets and soft book panelsAt 4.5 inches it fits on a soft book page panel and the simple colour palette stays readable at small scale.

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.
