Christmas Alphabet

Christmas Alphabet needlepoint tapestry is an A-Z of Christmas imagery. Starting with ‘a’ as a little angel, through to ‘z’ for an exhausted sleeping child after an exciting day…zzz. Children will enjoy seeing all the patchwork-style pictures, as well as the little surprises inside on Christmas day!

If you need to stitch more than one stocking and need them all to be the same size, note that Christmas Alphabet stocking is one of our larger Christmas stockings and is the same size as Angels, Animal Ark, Cats and Dogs, Fairytale, Toy Box, Owls, Sleigh Bells, and Silent Night.

Choosing  a Tapestry Frame

A tapestry frame is not essential, but using one will 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. As the canvas is attached by easy clips, the frames give you the freedom to switch between projects if necessary.

For Christmas Alphabet stocking we recommend a 21" frame, either a CF219 or a CF2112 frame for ease of working. Choose on of the 24" frames (CF249 or CF2412) if you think you will stitch cushion sized projects in the future.

See all our tapestry clip frames in our Frames and Accessories category.
