L for Lion
£35.00
A charming L for Lion needlepoint tapestry to stitch for a new baby or animal-loving child, featuring a lion and a lemur. In the borders are ladybirds, a lizard, black Labrador dogs, lemons and leaves.
A lion and lemur take centre stage in our mini L for Lion tapestry. In the borders there are Labradors, ladybirds, leaves, lemons and even a lizard. As with all the A-Z Animal tapestries the colours have been chosen to give the design equal appeal to boys and girls.
L for Lion has space to either stitch a large single name using the large lettering provided, or to add more details, e.g. date of birth and/or birth weight using the smaller alphabet. Frame your finished tapestry as a picture or make into the centre of a larger cushion, or make a book bag for a favourite bedtime book.
Kit Contents
Each L for Lion tapestry kit comes in a red rope-handled bag with colour illustration and includes:
- Colour printed canvas (12hpi)
- Reference chart
- Additional alphabet and numbers chart, with instructions for planning the name panel
- Generous supply of Anchor tapestry wool
- John James tapestry needle
- Stitch instructions for half cross and tent stitch
Choosing a Tapestry Frame
A tapestry frame is not essential but will help to prevent your canvas from going out of shape. A tapestry frame also makes it easy to resume stitching the next day or after a break. We stock a tried and tested range of British made no-sew tapestry clip frames which are quick to assemble. As the canvas is attached by easy clips, you can easily switch projects if necessary. If going on holiday, just take off the sidebars and roll up your canvas - hey presto, ready to travel.
For the A-Z Animals tapestry kits, we recommend a CF189 tapestry frame, as a smaller CF129 will be a bit of a squeeze. Choose a larger frame with code ending in '9' if you are likely to stitch cushion sized designs in the future.
