Bring quiet feline charm to your stitching with this elegant white cat head portrait, worked in a realistic filled style that gives the face real presence. The upright ears, almond-shaped eyes, pink nose and fine whiskers are set off by patchwork markings in cream, peach, tan, brown, grey and black, so the fur reads as white without looking flat. It will especially appeal to cat lovers who want something lifelike rather than cartoonish.
With 11 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched finish, this design suits fabrics that can support solid embroidery and show off the shading clearly. It would look particularly strong on the back or chest of a denim jacket, a canvas tote, a sweatshirt, a cushion cover or the pocket of a sturdy apron. Because the stitching is rich and full, the portrait has a polished, framed look that stands up well on plain backgrounds where the cat’s face can take centre stage.
