This one is for the people who have already told their cats more about their day than they have told any human. The design runs the quote Time Spent With Cats Is Never Wasted in a clean, readable style, with small cat illustrations, ears, whiskers, maybe a sitting silhouette depending on the arrangement, worked into the composition. Nothing over-decorated, just a quote that lands with the right person immediately and makes everyone else in the room slightly suspicious. I love how specific this is, because specific is what sells.
No dimensions data attached but quote-plus-illustration designs like this run in the 5 to 7 thousand stitch range. Two colors, black for the main text and illustration lines, with maybe a soft grey or charcoal for any fill areas. Density around 4 to 4.5 spi. Tearaway on stable woven fabrics like canvas and cotton twill, cutaway if going on a stretch knit cat-mom sweatshirt which honestly is the natural home for this design.
This reads well on a tote bag, a zipper pouch, or the front of a sweatshirt for a cat owner. A friend of mine ran this on a canvas bag she gave her sister who has three cats, and her sister apparently wept a little which I think is the best possible outcome for an embroidery design. Tonal thread on a dark background keeps it sleek rather than novelty.
Email me if the cat illustration sections arent stitching clean and Ill sort it out fast.

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.
