Angel Skies

Angel Skies is a beautiful new Christmas stocking in our traditional boot-shaped range. Angel Skies depicts angels flying in daylight and at night against a starry night sky, with a sleeping village below.

If you're stitching for more than one member of the family, note that Angel Skies Christmas is one of our boot-shaped Christmas stockings and is the same size as Dreaming of Christmas, White Christmas, Noah's Christmas, Woodland Owls, Puppies, Christmas Love Hearts, Santa and Evergreen.

Choosing a Tapestry Frame

A tapestry frame is not essential but using one will help to prevent your work going out of shape. It also 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 are easy to assemble. The canvas is attached by sturdy clips, giving you the flexibility to switch between projects if necessary.

Angel Skies Christmas stocking will fit on an 18" tapestry frame CF189 or CF1812 if you trim the canvas slightly at the edges. Choose a slightly wider frame (perhaps CF219 or CF2112) if you think you will stitch larger (wider) projects in the future.

See all our tapestry clip frames in our Frames and Accessories category, or call us on 01460 281111 or email kelly@jollyred,co.uk if you'd like advice before selecting a tapestry frame.
