Black Lab Needlepoint Belt – Springer Spaniel – Beagle

Three new needlepoint belts that are sure to inspire dog lovers.

We’ve done a lot of custom needlepoint belt designs with dogs on them, and realized that our dogs make great stand alone belts.

Labs have so much personality, and so do their owners! Our distinguished black lab needlepoint belt shows the dog at attention and spices up the wardrobe with an azure blue background.

Tropical Gamefish Needlepoint Belt

How great is Tracy (our designer)? I think she is wonderful and if you agree, why not let her know by leaving some feedback in the comments about her work on the new Tropical Gamefish Needlepoint Belt!

Friday Favorites – Custom Needlepoint Canvases

Our customers have been keeping us busy with some great new custom needlepoint canvases!

We’ve been in touch with a water color artist, who’s art is amazing (see the cat below on the right) It is tricky to transfer the feel and layers of water color, but I have a felling this is going to be stunning when we stitch it into a pillow!

Before I go on, here are a few great comments we got last week from customers:

“The needlepoint arrived Monday, and thank you very much. The canvas turned out better than my expectations. Great job.” Jane 4-2-14

“I just received the belt and man does it look good! Just wow! You all did an excellent job and I’m so excited to wear it to show it off to all my friends and family who have also been eagerly waiting it’s arrival! I may even be able to refer you some business while I’m at it! haha” Mitchell – 5-31-14

Cat and Dog Art Needlepoint Canvases

We’ve got an amazing new sailboat and the flags of some sailing destinations in Europe. Also note the new Elk I designed last week on the hunting belt.

Custom Sailing and Hunting Needlepoint Belt Canvases

These are some fun designs, one is for a wedding the others for kids. I love the tooth ferry pillow, we made an extra little canvas for the pocket to go on the outside!

Fun Needlepoint Canvases

Last but not least, the Sydney Opera house and some dogs that came out looking really sharp! (wool colors on the dogs are hand matched to the dogs and follow the photo not the canvas)

Beautiful Chihuahua Needlepoint Pillow

I love when we get to see our customer’s work.

Today when opening emails this morning a smile instantly came to my face, Angela from the UK emailed me this photo of the pillow she stitched of Tequila the Chihuahua.

She created the needlepoint design from a photo on NeedlePaint.com and I made the kit. Matching the colors to the dog is actually one of the most time consuming parts of making custom needlepoint kits, but when you see photos like this, you can see the time was well spent!

Angela actually covered up the background, and managed to capture Tequila’s spirit to the stitch! Beautiful work Angela!

New Freshwater Fishing Needlepoint Belt Design

This design started as a compilation but as I got closer I realized we needed to make a dedicated freshwater gamefish belt!

Designed for the guys who head out at the crack of dawn in the summer looking for big one, this belt features some of the most popular fish found in midwest and east coast of the United States. They are a: largemouth bass, bluegill, walleye, northern pike, stripped bass (freshwater), sunfish, perch, and smallmouth bass.

If there is a fish missing that you’d rather see on your needlepoint belt, let us know!

Custom College Campus Needlepoint Belts and Other Custom Belt Options

It is not everyday that we find true talent, but about a week a go I was contacted by a very talented artist who is interested in creating custom needlepoint belt designs for us.

I’m amazed by their ability to capture details on a belt that normally would not be possible using only 22 stitches. The custom college needlepoint belt design is just an example of what we can do. The preview below is of the Notre Dame campus in South Bend, Indiana, but you go ahead and tell us the campus you’d like on your belt along with buildings, stadiums, and landmarks and we’ll create a new design for you!

Keep in mind our designs can be ordered either as a needlepoint belt or you can order the needlepoint canvas and stitch it yourself!

Custom College Campus Needlepoint Belt

Another example we created is the custom landscape scene needlepoint belt canvas. You may have seen a picture of this canvas in last week’s Friday Favorites blog post. This is just an idea, but how cool would a city scape of New York, Chicago, or Paris be!

Custom Landscape Scene Needlepoint Belt

If you’re looking for a simpler design (and cheaper), our Life Treasures Custom Needlepoint Belts are most likely the best bet. Simple but elegant, we take the favorite things from your life an put it into stitches. Think teams, schools, sports, and hobbies, these make excellent gifts!
