Beautiful Gryphon Tapestry Cushion Kit by Carol Anne Long for Animal Fayre Designer Tapestry kits.
In 2005, I was approached by Traquair House to create a collection of tapestry kneelers. My brief was to look around the House and choose images and embroidery to inspire new designs.
The Gryphon design was inspired by the exquisite petit point panels in the embroidery collection at Traquair House. This design is one of a set of three, which also includes a Chameleon and a Unicorn.
The complete Traquair House Chapel Needlework Collection is on view in the chapel and was embroidered by community stitchers to celebrate the 900th anniversary of Traquair House.
The design is sewn dramatically in rich colours on a dark background and would be enjoyed by the novice and experienced stitcher.
Sewn using Victorian cross stitch, no need for a frame.
This Animal Fayre Designer Tapestry kit contains everything you will need to make it. There’s loads of wool, a pattern folder, wool organiser cards to keep everything neat and safe.
For beginners, I have included detailed instructions and my contact details in case you need more help!
There’s an excellent, high quality chart which shows you exactly where to place your stitches, even better, you can share the chart with friends when you have finished your beautiful needlework!
There are a few handy extras such as an organza wool bag and a couple of organiser card to keep your wools tidy and ready for when you will need them.
I’ve popped in two needles so you have a spare.
The whole kit is in a lush black gift bag.
Sewn using Victorian cross stitch, no need for a frame, making it even easier for beginners and if you are like me and prefer to hold the canvas.
