NEW! Tiny firescreens in needlepoint from Janet Granger

 


Due to constant requests from customers to expand the range of existing doll’s house scale firescreen designs, and include matching designs for other items in her range, Janet has just launched these four firescreen kits. They are to be stitched in needlepoint on 32 count silk gauze (counted from a colour block chart), with one strand of Anchor cotton. Everything you need is included in the kit – even the white metal firescreen, which comes as three parts and simply needs to be glued together and then painted. Choose from a willow pattern motif, a classic tree of life, a stunning Berlin woolwork design in black and gold or a floral design with a green trellis background.
 
 
The kits can be ordered from the ONLINE SHOP now:
Take a look at the Matching Kits page, to see other items that will co-ordinate with these firescreens:
If you haven’t stitched in this scale before, or would like to know more about what making one of these kits involves, why not have a look at the FREE ONLINE TUTORIALS at www.janetgranger.co.uk/tutorials.htm and see how easy it is to create one of these!
The kit costs £19.95. P&P is £1.75 per order in the UK (£3.50 overseas). You can pay using VISA, Mastercard and Paypal (online only), or you can make your cheque payable to Janet Granger if ordering by post.
