Bring storybook charm to a project with this elegant triceratops embroidery design, stitched in warm browns, tan, cream and touches of gold. The three facial horns, wide frill and curved tail give it an unmistakable triceratops silhouette, while the spikes, segmented back plates and fossil-like markings stop it feeling flat or childish. It suits anyone after a dinosaur motif with a softer, more decorative look, especially for children’s clothing, nursery pieces or gifts for a dinosaur-obsessed youngster.
With nine thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched build, this design has the kind of filled-in presence that stands up well on sturdier fabrics. It would look especially good on a sweatshirt, quilt block, book bag, denim jacket back or the front of a canvas cushion, where the black outlines and patchy body markings can really show. Because the shape is compact and well defined, it reads clearly even among busy fabrics, while the layered fill gives the frill, plates and claws a satisfyingly substantial finish.
