Quilt Hearts

Quilt Hearts 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.

Kit Contents

Each Quilt Hearts tapestry kit comes in a red rope-handled bag with colour illustration and includes:

• Colour printed canvas (10hpi)
• Eight whole skeins of Anchor tapestry wool
• Reference chart with additional alphabet chart, and instructions
• John James tapestry needle
• Needle threader
• Clear instructions for half cross stitch

Choosing  a Tapestry Frame

A tapestry frame is not essential, but is a good idea for beginners as it leaves both hands free for stitching.

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.
