Body curled into a tight little oval, legs completely tucked under, head resting sideways with the antlers angled back so they dont stick out past the body footprint. Eyes are closed crescents with tiny lashes. A small cluster of zZz bubbles floats up from the nose, just 2 or 3 of em, nothing overdone. Honestly its the kind of design you look at and feel like the room got quieter.
Fourteen colours is the reason this one hits 60,586 stitches at the top 7-in size. Warm caramel brown on the body, a cream underbelly patch, a muted sage tone on the antler branches, soft pink on the nose, pale blue zZz lettering and then a handful of transition shades between the caramel and cream where the fur shifts. Directional tatami fill on the body makes the fur feel layered instead of flat. The professional digitising software digitising handles those direction changes without jump stitches cutting through the visible fills.
I been getting messages about this design since december of last year mostly from people doing baby nursery projects and new-parent holiday gifts. Email me if you need the zzz bubbles removed for a non-holiday version, but the full design with em is whats most popular. One customer used the 5-in run for a fleece blanket panel for a new baby born right before new year and the mum cried when she opened it, which was really nice to hear.
Drop cutaway behind fleece or minky fabric because at 1,232 density this design doesnt forgive a floppy hoop. Hoop firm, place water-soluble topping over any pile fabric, and let the bobbin tension do its job on the underlay pass first. Try cream or white fleece for the softest result. Skip jersey and stretchy knits here, the dense tatami fill needs woven or non-stretch base fabric to lay flat.
Email me if the file gives any trouble and Ill send a fresh export right away.

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.
