Bring quiet realism to your stitching with this elegant Jack Russell Terrier face, worked as a realistic portrait rather than a cartoon. The tan, brown, cream and white shading gives the head real dimension, from the soft floppy ears to the dark, bright eyes and neat black nose. That white chest patch and defined muzzle make it instantly recognisable to anyone who knows the breed. It suits dog owners, breeders and anyone sewing a tribute piece for a much-loved terrier.
With 8 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched build, this design has the presence to stand up well on sturdy fabrics. It looks especially good on canvas tote bags, quilted gilets, denim jackets, grooming aprons or the back of a pet blanket where the detail can be properly seen. Because the portrait is richly filled and carefully shaded, it gives a polished, substantial finish rather than a light sketch effect.
