Bring gliding colour to your stitching with this elegant sea turtle design, drawn in ornamental linework and filled with mosaic-like shell detail. Gold, teal, turquoise, blue, purple, green and tan shift across the shell plates, flippers and head, giving the turtle a vivid, layered look without losing its natural shape. It suits anyone who loves marine wildlife but wants something more decorative than a plain realistic animal.
With eight thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched build, it has the presence to stand up well on sturdier fabrics such as denim jackets, canvas totes, sweatshirt fleece and cushion covers. The wave-like patterning through the flippers and body helps the design read clearly from a distance, while the eye, beak-like mouth and small tail keep it recognisably turtle up close. Use it as a centrepiece on the back of a jacket, the front of a beach bag or a feature panel on coastal-inspired home décor.
