“I love doing the tapestries. It’s so relaxing and a real escape. I’m currently working on the alphabet canvas and hoping I’ll finish it before Harriet knows the whole alphabet!”

L for Lion

£19.50£39.00

L for Lion A-Z Animlas needlepoint is a gorgeous personalised tapestry to stitch for a new baby or an animal-loving child. L for Lion features a lion and his lemur friend. There are ladybirds, a lizard, black Labrador dogs, lemons and leaves in the borders. Alphabet and numbers charts included as well as tips for planning names and dates.

A lion and lemur take centre stage in our L for Lion A-Z Animals tapestry while black Labradors, ladybirds, leaves, lemons and a lizard fill the borders. As with all of our A-Z Animal tapestries, we have chosen colours to appeal equally to boys and girls - and their parents and grandparents!

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.

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 an 18" 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.
