Lovely tapestries

Lovely tapestry kits, a joy to work on and beautifully packaged and labelled, so clear and well presented with lovely colours. Very efficient service too.

An excellent tapestry. I am greatly enjoying stitching it. The colours are superb. I will certainly stitch Alastair the parrot and wish there was a third, as three cushions would look good together. Can you suggest anything else which would go with the two parrots on a sofa?

Pete The Parrpt

Love him, am working on him now, beautifully packaged and presentation of contents - kit really good. Am looking forward to ordering Alistair the Parrot once Pete is complete. Lockdown has got me doing tapestry again after a number of years of not. Thank you and he will become a much loved cushion in due course.
