The fox is standing on a small grass mound, head tilted and ears up. Not running, not sitting, just that moment where a fox has clocked something and hasnt decided yet what to do about it. The whole posture captures it. Slim legs, full bushy tail curving behind, pointed snout with the nose just catching the light.
Eleven colours go into this one and the layering is what makes it read as fur rather than flat fill. Burnt orange and deep rust red build the body, grey and charcoal shade the underside and legs, cream white handles the chest bib and inner ear, and a peach tone sits in the face around the cheek patches. The green grass base is 2 shades, one darker and one lighter, which gives it depth. And black is reserved for outlines, the eye, nose and the ear tips. Stitch count reaches nearly 52,000 on the biggest 7.5 size.
I digitised this one specifically for wildlife fans and autumn-themed collections, but alot of buyers use it for kids nature tees and woodland nursery decor aswell, which I wasnt fully expecting. One customer last october ordered a run for a nature photography club tote bag and said the rust orange against sage canvas was exactly the colour palette she wanted. Works either way. Since its on 11 colours the colour-change count is 10, so pick a machine with solid bobbin tension memory.
Pair this with cream, oatmeal or forest green fabric. White cotton, natural linen and sage twill are all good choices. Black fabric works surprisingly well too because the orange coat has enough density to cover the ground. Use firm cutaway stabiliser throughout and keep the hoop tight on the legs, the directional stitching on the thinner lower sections loses crispness if the fabric has any give. Dont skip the stabiliser on jersey either, the 52k stitch count doesnt forgive stretchy grounds on the larger sizes. Its worth the extra prep time honestly.

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.
