Three cat faces, centre one the biggest, staring straight out while the 2 flanking ones turn inward like theyre keeping tabs on each other. All 3 share dusty violet and deep purple satin fill layered with directional shading so each face reads with actual depth rather than a flat colour block. Navy outline separates the fur clumps and frames the ears.
Eyes are what people notice first. Vivid grass-green irises with a sharp black pupil, stitched in a tight satin oval that catches light completely differently to the surrounding purple fill. Tiny red satin triangle per nose, and the whiskers trail off in fine white thread lines that go gossamer-thin at the tips. Eight colours total but they sit so close in the violet family that the grouping reads as one rich moody tone until youre close enough to really look.
Density is heavy at 1,037 stitches per square inch, not a quick stitch-out. Smallest size hits 12,550 stitches and the biggest goes to 31,590. Thats what gives it that near-photographic quality. Smallest size is 3.5 by 1.89 inches, biggest at 7.5 by 4.06. Pick white, cream, pale grey or soft lilac fabric and the purple really pops. Use mid-weight cutaway and hoop firm woven cotton or denim snugly. Dont use a tear-away, the density pulls it off grain.
Run a colour test block first if youre switching to a new thread brand. Purple satins shift a lot batch to batch and a three-face grouping magnifies thread-tension drift more than a single motif would. A customer messaged last month saying the centre cat face went off-hue compared to the outer two, turned out to be a tension issue on a fresh spool. Ping the help inbox with a swatch photo if something looks off and Ill resend it quick.

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.
