Animal Alphabet

look at the next needlepoint design
In a temporary departure from the Morris theme, Beth Russell has designed a complete alphabet of twenty six kits, each letter decorated by the appropriate animal. These kits are suitable for children and beginners alike and can be stitched individually or joined together to form initials, names or messages.

New Alphabet Rug

The kits come packed in attractive little calico bags making them ideal gifts. The new blue Zweigart canvas makes the stitching of the background unnecessary and the illustrated instructions are very easy to follow. They can be made into cushions, cubes or samplers or simply joined together to spell names or sayings. These animals make great starter kits for people wanting to get into needlepoint for the first time.
Beth has also just produced a printed rug (shown above) of the entire alphabet.
