    dog, off the wall

    Striking dog portraits are everywhere on the high street, but who needs to go shopping for one when you can stitch one yourself? This Jack Russell shows just how perfectly pooch portraits lend themselves to cross stitch. We've gone for a large count dark Ariosa fabric for our cushion so it's quick to stitch and has a cosy, chunky finish, but there's a huge variety of fabric out there to choose from. Just make sure you pick a soft one that's good for snuggling up to.
