Brighter Days Daffodils is a special tapestry kit which we’ve created to help to raise funds for the people of Ukraine.

To date we have donated over £3,200 to the DEC.

Brighter Days Daffodils tapestry kit is a tapestry that we created to raise funds for the people of Ukraine. In the design, we have echoed the colours of the Ukrainian flag, filling the lower half of the design with yellow daffodils and the upper half with a bright blue sky.*

For us here in the UK, the sight of the first daffodils springing up by the roadside and in clumps in our gardens are such a positive sight after the grey days of winter. Together with the blue spring sky, they make us think of brighter days ahead, which is what we all wish for the people of Ukraine.

Brighter Days Daffodils is a versatile design that can be folded in half and made into a specs case. It can also be used as the centre of a larger cushion or used as a panel in a tapestry bag. An alphabet and numbers chart is included in the design so you can add a name and/or message and dates in the sky.

We donate £10 from the sale of each Brighter Days Daffodils tapestry kit to the Disasters Emergency Committee. Thank you all so much for your support in this project! We post updates on sales of Brighter Days Daffodils on Jolly Red's Facebook and Instagram pages.

*Background blue: we designed Brighter Days Daffodils with a lovely turquoisey blue sky. If you would prefer a more bluey blue (cornflower blue) please comment in the notes when you order and we will swap it for you.

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 only take a few minutes to assemble. The canvas is attached by sturdy clips, giving you the flexibility to switch between projects if you need to.

For Brighter Days Daffodils, we recommend a CF189 frame or choose a CF219 or CF249 frame if you might stitch something larger in the future. A 12" frame will be a bit of a squeeze.

See all our frames here in our Tapestry Frames and Accessories category.
