Bring ornate brasswork to your stitching with this elegant music-themed composition, where a saxophone, trumpet, French horn and trombone sweep across staff lines with notes, a treble clef and decorative curls. The gramophone-style horns, sound-wave bars and starburst details give it the feel of a live performance turned into ornament. It will especially appeal to band members, music teachers and anyone decorating a gift for a brass or jazz enthusiast.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design, it suits stable fabrics that can carry strong coverage and crisp detail, such as cotton twill, canvas, denim, felt or a well-supported sweatshirt front. It looks particularly good centred on a recital tote, the back of a music jacket, a piano-stool cushion or a practice-folder cover where the red, turquoise, gold, cream and orange palette can do the talking. With four thread colours doing all the work, it gives a richly layered result without becoming fussy.
