Compare the Gooseberry and Christmas Print Vintage Mixing Bowls needlepoint canvases. Find out which retro kitchen motif fits your stitching style and project goals.
Quick answer
Choose the Christmas Print for a complete, ready-to-stitch kit with a holiday motif, or the Gooseberry Print for a more affordable canvas-only option with a classic retro look.
Motif and seasonal appeal
The Christmas Print features festive reds, greens, and holiday imagery that fits a seasonal project or a gift. The Gooseberry Print offers a more everyday retro kitchen look with soft green tones that work year-round.
What's in the box
The Christmas Print is sold as a full thread kit that includes hand-painted canvas, curated silk and wool fibers, a thread ring, tapestry needle, and stitch brochure. The Gooseberry Print is available as a canvas-only option (with a stitch pamphlet and project bag), so you'll need to source your own threads and tools.

- Gooseberry Print canvas: Canvas-only with project bag and pamphlet, lower price ($48.00), year-round retro look, requires separate thread purchase.
- Which one saves more time?: The Christmas Print saves a trip to the craft store — everything arrives in one box. The Gooseberry Print saves money upfront but adds a shopping step. Factor in thread cost and availability when comparing total project expense.
