Quilt Hearts
£8.75 – £17.50
Quilt Hearts beginner tapestry kit, a delightful mini needlepoint patchwork of hearts in reds, whites and blues. Once stitched, Quilt Hearts can be used as the centre panel in a cushion or book bag.
Quilt Hearts starter tapestry kit is a lovely small hearts design for an enthusiastic beginner, and also makes a lovely quick project for a more experienced stitcher. Once the design is stitched, there will be plenty of spare wool to use to extend the design and personalise the border with patterns, stripes and/or a name.
Once stitched you can frame your Quilt Hearts tapestry as a picture, make it into the centre of a larger cushion, or use it as a panel for a favourite bedtime book bag.
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
A tapestry frame is not essential but using one will help to prevent work going out of shape as well as making it easy to resume stitching the next day or after a break. Children may find it easier to focus on the tapestry if they aren't also having 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. The canvas is attached by sturdy clips, so the canvas doesn't have to be sewn on to the frame.
Which size of frame is best for a beginner? For Quilt Hearts starter kit a 12" wide CF129 frame is a good size. If you may want to stitch a larger design in the future, choose one of the wider frames with code ending in '9' and place your canvas in the centre of the frame when you stitch it.
See all of our tapestry clip frames in our Frames and Accessories category.

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.
