Homestead

Homestead is a fantastic retro themed tapestry to stitch for your own home, or to make as a special gift for a wedding, anniversary or housewarming. The patchwork style design features a central house surrounded by an old fashioned TV, DIY tools, a cat, vase of flowers, a teapot, and a dancing couple, all set within a border of hearts.

Choosing  a Tapestry Frame

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 put together. The canvas is attached by sturdy clips, allowing you to switch between projects if necessary.

For Homestead, we recommend either a CF219 or a CF2112 frame (one of the 21" ones), or choose a 24" frame if you may stitch larger projects in the future.
