I remember doing something quite like this when I was
little, but instead of a cloth background, it was a slotted sheet of card and
you stretched the yarn across and slotted it into the spaces till you got a
picture. I've not described that very
well, but I remember my brother and I getting these kits one Christmas when we were little. You were even given a frame for your finished
work. Cannot for the life of me remember
what that was called!
Anyway - these are quite cute and would probably be
collectable these days.
Love, Liz

I remember those cards! I loved them. I would complete one, then pull the yarn out and start all over again. Wow, Liz. I haven't thought of those in years!
I had a kit for a giraffe, I am sure my mother still has him somewhere! I remember the white background taking forever, and getting a bit grey!
My nan gave me all her tapestry wools recently and I haven't found much inspiration for them yet. Perhaps a tapestry dog is in my future now though! x
