Quilt Hearts canvas
£5.00
Quilt Hearts beginner tapestry canvas is a delightful mini needlepoint patchwork of hearts in reds, whites and blues. As a rough age guide, Quilt Hearts is suitable for children a little older than seven because of the colour changes between the patchwork squares.
Do you need to purchase wool for your canvas? We have a range of great value Anchor wool packs if you need wool for your starter kit canvas. The wool packs contain 12 skeins of wool (2 of six different colours). Each beginner’s canvas is designed with eight colours, so buy two packs if you want lots of choice, and plenty of spare wool for your next project.
Which size of frame is best for a beginner? For a beginner’s tapestry canvas, a 12″ wide CF129 frame is a good size. If you may progress to stitch larger designs in the future, choose one of the wider frames with code ending in ‘9’ and position your canvas in the centre of the frame when you stitch it.
Design Size Printed canvas area: 4″ x 4″ (10cm x 10cm) Canvas size 10″ x 10″ (25cm x 25cm), 10 holes per inch.
Quilt Hearts starter tapestry canvas for beginners is a patchwork-style hearts design for an enthusiastic beginner, and also makes a lovely quick project for a more experienced stitcher.
As a rough age guide, Quilt Hearts is suitable for children a little older than seven because of the colour changes between the patchwork squares.

Choosing a Tapestry Frame
Do I need a frame? A tapestry frame is not essential but using one will help to keep your work in shape. Using a frame also makes it easy to resume stitching the following day or after a break. Young stitchers may find it easier to focus on and enjoy their tapestry if they don’t have to physically hold on to the canvas as they stitch.
We stock a good range of British-made no-sew tapestry clip frames which are easy to assemble. Once the four sides are put together, simply attach your canvas in the grooves at the top and bottom using the sturdy clips provided.
For Quilt Hearts starter kit, we recommend a CF129 tapestry frame. Choose one of the larger frames (CF189, CF219 or CF249), ie one with code ending in '9' if you intend to stitch larger projects in the future. These will allow you to attach a canvas wider than 12".

Choosing a Frame
A tapestry frame is not essential, but is particularly useful for beginners as it leaves both hands free for stitching. We stock a good range of British made no-sew tapestry clip frames which only take a few minutes to assemble. As the canvas is attached by clips, the frames allow you to switch between projects if necessary.
For Quilt Hearts, we recommend a CF129 frame but choose one of the larger frames with code ending in ‘9’ if you think you will stitch larger projects in the future.
