“Thank you so much Kelly and team. I am delighted with my Lockdown work! And they have been so beautifully transformed into cushions. The Roses one has taken pride of place on our bed. The birds one is off to my daughter’s new flat, and the dogs’ cushion is safely perched on the back of their favourite sofa!!”

Beach Buddies

Price range: £38.50 through £77.00

Beach Buddies tapestry kit is wonderful tapestry to stitch for someone in a dog-loving family, or for a seaside home. A playful pack of dogs are chasing balls on the sand in front of a row of colourful beach huts. Waves are lapping against the sand. The bunting is out; it’s a sun-filled day at the seaside.

Beach Buddies is great fun to stitch, and you can tweak the dogs to make them resemble your own family pets. Our own goldendoodle office manager, Albus, makes his entrance in the bottom right, looking on before he joins in with the fun.

Beach Buddies tapestry canvas is printed in full colour. The kit also contains a symbols reference chart, and a separate alphabet and numbers chart for you to plan your name panel.

Design Size Printed Canvas area: 14″ x 17″ (36cm x 43cm), 10 holes per inch.

Choosing and using a Tapestry Frame

Why use a frame? A tapestry frame is not essential but using one will help to keep your canvas straight and maintain even tension as you stitch. With your canvas on a frame, it's easy to pick it up and resume stitching the following day or after a break.

Which size is best for this kit? We stock a range of British made no-sew tapestry clip frames which take only a few minutes to assemble. For Alphabet Cats in Space, we recommend a 24" frame, either a CF249 or a CF2412. This allows for the extra blank canvas at the sides of the printed area. See all our tapestry clip frames in our Frames and Accessories category.

Another benefit of using a clip frame The canvas is attached by sturdy clips which fit snugly into grooves in the top and bottom bars. The clips give you the freedom to temporarily remove your canvas and switch to another project if necessary.
