This one is a different animal from the round sitting sheep design. Literally. Its the same red glasses on a tan woolly sheep, same toothy grin, but this version is mid-run. Both front hooves off the ground, body tilted forward, little tail up. Its going somewhere fast and its extremely happy about it. The flowers scatter freely around it, blue daisies left, pink ones right, like theyre getting left in the wake.
21 colours, and at density 1,661 per square inch this is one of the denser designs in the catalog. Stitches start at 37,888 for the 3.51-inch and climb to 91,907 at 7.51 inches. Thats a significant run time on the bigger sizes so plan for it. my main software layered short directional satin columns across the fleece area to build genuine depth, you can feel the difference between the flat red glasses and the textured wool when you run your thumb across a finished piece.
9 sizes, the smallest 3.51 inch and the biggest 7.51. Ive had people use the big sizes on sweatshirt fronts and the detail holds even when your washing machine has had a go at it. Best on lighter fabrics, cream or oatmeal lets the warm tan read naturally. Heavy cutaway stabiliser is non-negotiable above 5 inches, 91k stitches needs a firm foundation. Hoop snug and ease the machine speed, dont rush the wool sections. A customer back in march ordered both this running version and the seated one on matching canvas tote bags for her daughters. One sheep sitting, one running. Good call honestly.
Genuinely one of the more technically demanding files I offer but also one of the most requested. People who come for the seated design often come back for this aswell, they work as a pair on matching items or gift sets. Navy or dark fabric works if you stick to medium sizes, the cream chest of the sheep still shows against a dark background.

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.
