“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!”

M for Monkey A-Z Animals needlepoint tapestry kit is a cute letter ‘M’ birth sampler. The design features a monkey, mouse and meerkat. In the border there are melons, moons and stars to accompany the moons.

Alphabet and lettering charts included for name and dates, along with tips for planning the name panel.

M for Monkey is an adorable mini 'M' birth sampler tapestry to stitch for a new baby or a young child. The tapestry features a monkey, mouse and meerkat, with a border of stars, moons and melons. As with all the A-Z Animals the colours have been chosen to give the design equal appeal to boys and girls.

M for Monkey has space to either stitch a large single name using the large lettering provided, or to add more details, eg date of birth and/or birth weight using the smaller alphabet. Your finished tapestry can be made into the centre of a larger cushion, made into a book bag for a favourite bedtime book, or framed as a picture.

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 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.
