Hors de Bleus Matisse Cushion Kit

This beautiful clutch needlepoint canvas design was inspired by the "Odalisque in Red" painting by Henri Matisse. Unlike the Hors de Mûrs, this design was adapted to a more blue and white version, perfect to suit any home decor.

Read all about the inspiration behind these designs in our blog post: "Homage to Matisse, by Sara Trucksess".

What is included in the “Complete Needlepoint Kit” option 

• Original artwork printed in premium Zweigart Interlock 10 HPI canvas, with edges sewed with cotton bias tape
• 2 John James tapestry needles
• Flyer with the color threads mapping so you can start stitching quickly. 
• 100% natural Merino wool and Tapestry wool threads with enough quantity to stitch with the continental tent stitch (if you need more thread, let us know in advance)
• Needlepoint booklet with instructions on starting needlepoint, tips for selecting needlepoint stitches, and a library of favorite stitches.
• Printed Unwind Studio cotton drawstring bag to store your threads
• Featured artwork: “Hors de Bleus”, Sara Trucksess
• Printed design measures 40x40 cm (15.7x15.7 in)

When you buy the “Printed canvas only” option, all the above is included except the threads, and just a single needle. It’s the perfect option if you want to create your own color variation, or re-use threads and yarn you might have at home!

Please note that we only include 1 printed Needlepoint booklet per order. If you add a gift note at checkout, then we’ll add one per kit. Any questions let us know.

Other considerations:

• This is a needlepoint kit and therefore does not include cushion pad, backing fabric, zip or piping.
• The colors of the printed canvas and threads may vary a little from what you see on your monitor.

♥ PLASTIC FREE
It's the little things that matter. We're careful to use only eco-friendly materials, that you can reuse or recycle!

♥ GIFTS
All our kits come beautifully packaged with our bespoke portable tubes or small boxes, making them a perfect gift for you or a friend.

*

In order to be more sustainable, we try to reduce the materials used for packaging:

During Nov & Dec:

All kits and canvases will be shipped into individual tubes/canisters or small boxes, unless you let us know you prefer to receive optimized packaging, to help us preserve the planet!

Rest of the year:

When you buy more than one kit or canvas, we always try to accommodate them in a single packaging tube or small box, and only 1 printed needlepoint booklet is included.

However, if you add a gift message at checkout, or let us know in advance that you are buying for a gift, we make sure to ship all projects into individual packages.
