From Drawing to Needlepoint!

From crayon sketch to Christmas keepsake! Some of the most magical needlepoint designs begin with a little imagination and a handful of crayons! This holiday season, we’re delighted to share the heartwarming story of a special stocking inspired by a child’s very own crayon drawing. With a little creativity and a lot of love, a childhood masterpiece has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind needlepoint design—preserving those colorful details and precious memories stitch by stitch.

Our customer Monica’s child Weston, created this art
especially with a needlepoint stocking in mind.

The needlepoint canvas adaptation of Weston’s drawing.

A message from our designer Gwynn — “This artwork was a pleasure to adapt for needlepoint. I create custom stockings of all types, but this one is special. When I got this project to adapt, I was thrilled. Firstly, the child’s drawing was charming and inventive, and I might add showing a lot of young talent. Secondly, this art was personal. It had a soul, so I wanted to adapt it as faithfully as possible. The result speaks for itself. The young artist made a fantastic design from which to work. The scene created was thoughtful, well executed and made for a beautiful stocking. Truly a joy to work on!”

What beautiful stitching Monica, this needlepoint stocking is absolutely stunning!

This story is a sweet reminder . . . sometimes the most extraordinary designs come from the smallest artists, and some of the most treasured holiday traditions begin with a simple drawing.

Start Your Needlepoint Journey Today!

written by Peggy Bond

Our beginner-friendly needlepoint kits are designed especially for new needlepointers! Check out our entire Simple Stitch Beginner Collection; featuring a series of needlepoint kits on 14 mesh canvas, designed to spark your passion for stitching, while providing a satisfying and stress-free crafting experience.

Simple Teacher Apple Needlepoint Ornament Kit

Dancing Bands Simple Needlepoint Key Fob Kit

These kits are stitch counted and we recommend that they are stitched using the continental stitch with one strand of Waverly wool. Stitches are worked from the right to left as shown in the figure below.

I like to start stitching with a length of knotted yarn on the right side of the canvas about 1-inch from my first stitch. The thread on the underside will be covered by the stitches and the knot can be carefully cut off and covered with the next stitches.

When ending a length of yarn, thread the yarn under the solidly worked area on the underside and trim.

One of simplest of our beginner-friendly kits is the Pink Diagonal Stripe Key Fob which has only two colors. I would start with the dark pink working the first strip on the top right corner. Then, stitching the second strip which is a light pink. Alternate the dark pink and light pink stripes across. Finally, there are only the short light pink and dark pink stripes to finish on the right. Done!

Pink Diagonal Stripe Simple Needlepoint Key Fob Kit

A little more complicated is the Pretty Pink Simple Needlepoint Eyeglass Case which has a monogram. For this canvas, I would stitch the monogram first and then proceed with the pink stripes as described above.

Pretty Pink Simple Needlepoint Eyeglass Case Kit

I always use a stretcher frame to keep my canvases from warping. My favorite frames are Frank A. Edmunds Split Rail Scroll Frames which are also available on line and at many retail stores.

If this is your first needlepoint project and you have a stretcher frame, I strongly recommend that you order the kit with the “taped edges” option.

May there always be unicorns
in your heart and dreams
although there are those
who don’t believe it seems.
A rainbow, good luck
the tooth fairy
and Easter Bunny
they all make us smile
act a little funny.
Santa, hobbits
angels and fairies
can’t seem to touch them
but our faith never varies.
Keep dreams in your heart
let unicorns run free
all the joys of the world
will be yours to see.
— Patricia Walter

Filled with color, light and magic, the mythical powers of these unicorn and rainbow
needlepoint designs are sure to delight all ages!
