Before the spinning wheels sucked me in, and quite some years before Etsy attacked my time, I indulged in these. Most of the designs are still available as printed kits – from Kaffe Fassett and Candace Bahout at Ehrman tapestries, for example.
But the ones I really love are these:
They are not printed on the canvas – they are counted stitch designs and are much more interesting to work. They came as kits by designers like Jane Rainbow – popular a couple of decades ago but now almost impossible to find.
Sadly, there were once more….including my very best one…
Certain Unnamed Members of my family were sprawling around on them late at night, left them all over the floor in front of the open fire, THEN left the fireguard off and went to bed…smoke everywhere, seriously charred wooden floorboards, ruined tapestry…We were actually very lucky that night.
All a long time ago.
