NeedlePaint Artist Feature

Every needlepoint design has a story, and we’re delighted to introduce Barbara Pixton, one of the many talented contributing artists behind NeedlePaint’s growing collection of needlepoint kits. In this feature, you’ll discover the inspiration, creativity, and unique perspective that shape Barbara’s beautiful designs. From the first sketch to the finished canvas, her work reflects a love of color, craftsmanship, and thoughtful details that make her designs so special.

Autumn Leaves Needlepoint Pillow Kit

I’ve had an eclectic career, with a background in both music and art. My degree is in music and I taught piano for many years, but I’ve taken many art courses from some of the wonderful institutions around the Boston area. I developed a particular interest in the decorative arts, both traditional and modern. I worked for a small furniture company for some years, painting floral designs, and for several harpsichord instrument makers in the Boston area, painting the soundboards with 18th century style flowers and birds. I also worked for many years creating designs for several well-known carpet and rug companies.”

Graceful Hydrangeas Needlepoint Pillow Kit

“After taking some courses in textile design, I found an agent to represent me in the fabric world. For a few years I did hand painted designs, but at some point, somewhat inevitably, switched to all digital.”

Poinsettia Needlepoint Ornament Kit

Colorful Alphabet Needlepoint Pillow Kit

“I’ve always had a love of all things “folk”; folk art, music, dance, costume, etc. The stylized brightly colored floral designs of Eastern Europe and Scandinavia are favorites, though I have no ethnic ties to any of these places. My folk designs are inspired in particular by the traditional arts of Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Sweden, and Norway.”

Dala Horse Red, Hungarian Red Rose, Hungarian Bleu

Bluebird Folk Art Needlepoint Pillow Kit

Aside from folk themes, I am currently working on designs of beautiful birds of Australia.
Chinoiserie, and music themes are next.
