The Tennis Ball Thief

£38.50 – £77.00

The Tennis Ball Thief, four mischievous Jack Russell terriers in an Arts and Crafts inspired needlepoint tapestry kit. The Tennis Ball Thief will appeal to anyone who owns or has ever owned a Jack Russell dog.

The Tennis Ball Thief tapestry is a fabulous design for lovers of Jack Russell terriers - and tennis too! Our Arts and Crafts inspired design features four mischievous Jack Russells, shunning juicy strawberries in favour of a far more exciting prize - tennis balls.

Anyone who has had a Jack Russell will be all too aware of the allure of the tennis ball, and good luck to you if you try to retrieve the ball from the mouth of your feisty little Jack once he or she has possession of it.

The Tennis Ball Thief is wonderful to stitch, with so many areas of interest and a beautiful indigo blue background.

A tapestry frame is not essential, but does help to prevent your work going out of shape and makes it easy to resume stitching the next day or after a break. We stock a good range of British made no-sew tapestry clip frames which take only a few minutes to assemble. The canvas is attached by easy clips (and not sewn on), enabling you to switch between projects if necessary.
