“I just want to say thank you for making my cushion up so beautifully and in time for me to enter it into my local show on Saturday. It’s always such a pleasure visiting you and I look forward to coming over in the autumn to purchase my winter project and a new frame too!”

“Thank you for making such a beautiful job of making up my Peacock Star cushion. All the hard work stitching it was worth it to see such a fabulous result. It now has pride of place in my sitting room.”

Quilt Hearts

£9.25£18.50

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.

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.

Quilt Hearts starter tapestry kit is a patchwork-style hearts design for an enthusiastic beginner, and also makes a lovely quick project for a more experienced stitcher.

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

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". See all our frames together 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.
