Christmas embroidery kits from Janet Granger



If you love Christmas and you love embroidery too, then it's never too early to start on your Christmas stitching projects. As the nights start drawing in, what can be better than having a Christmassy project to keep you busy in the evenings?



AIM member Janet Granger has recently added some new miniature needlepoint kits with Christmas motifs of candles and holly for table runners and place mats to her 12th scale embroidery kit range. There is still plenty of time before the festive season to make them for your festive doll house displays or to stitch as wonderful Christmas presents for friends who have doll's houses too.

All the kits contain 32 count silk gauze, plenty of Anchor stranded cotton and a suitable needle for you to stitch with. The designs are counted from a colour block chart (the design isn't printed on the fabric), which is simple to use and easy on the eyes. Instructions on how to finish the kits are included, too. You may want to purchase some Fray Check fabric glue (also available on the website) to stabilise the edges of the gauze before you trim around it.
The long table runner kit measures 3 5/8 x one inch and costs £12.95, the round table centre mat measures 1 3/8 inches diameter and costs £8.95, and each of the set of four place mats measures 1 3/8 by an inch and costs £14.95. All of them are available now from:


You can also find tutorials on the website showing exactly how these kits are to be made up:

AIM Member Showcase ~ Janet Granger




Introducing AIM Member, Janet Granger of Janet Granger Designs. Janet has been selling miniature embroidery online since 1996 and her wonderful 12th scale Embroidery kits are superb.
Janet has just launched new twelfth scale needlepoint kits on her website, www.janetgranger.co.uk , so why not take a look? Both ranges are called 'Alice' - there is a minty green/beige colourway, and a blue/peach colourway to choose from. Each range comprises nine kits altogether. They can all be bought individually, but the photos below show them together, to tempt you!! The basic 'Alice' design is derived from a Victorian floral motif, but these soft furnishings would look great in a 'shabby chic' interior, too. For those of you who want to know these things, the design is called ‘Alice’, after a friend of Janet's who lives in Edinburgh!
The design is available in all these different types of kit: two sizes of carpet, cushion, round footstool, rectangular stool, dining chair, firescreen, bellpull and bolster cushion. The carpets are to be stitched on 18 count interlock canvas with Appleton’s crewel wool (chart packs are also available, if you’d prefer to make them in a different colourway or a different count of fabric). The cushion is to be stitched on 22 count canvas with two strands of Anchor stranded cotton. All the other kits are to be stitched on 32 count silk gauze, with one strand of Anchor.
Prices start at 4.50 GBP for the cushion kit, up to 21.50 GBP for the large carpet kit. Shipping is free, worldwide, on any order of 10 GBP or over. Under 10 GBP, a flat rate of 1.25 GBP per order applies.
So, why not treat your doll's house to a room decorated in a beautiful co-ordinating range of stitched soft furnishings?
