We were very busy this week in our workshop.   There are some stunning images to share, so I hope you enjoy them!

First off, two of our custom needlepoint belt designs.  Two are our newly featured custom landscape panoramas.  The one on the right is the Notre Dame campus in South Bend, and the other is a coastal town in California!

Friday Favorites – Dog Needlepoint Pillow Nantucket Wedding Pillow and NeedlePaint Reviews

Hope everybody had a great holiday!

Last week we were treated by some of our customers with pictures of finished projects that really stand out.

We have two needlepoint pillows, one is a dog needlepoint project and the other was a Nantucket Wedding Pillow.

I love the colors and modern touch on the dog and with the nantucket, well the red braided piping looks great.  Nice stitching Ginger and Hillary!!!

We’re keeping busy at NeedlePaint, and would like to welcome Karen to our team!  She is an expert crafter and is going to help out in the workshop.  I’m super excited about this!

This week we received a lot of good feedback, on belts, pillows, and needlepoint kits (you may have seen last weeks pictures, very happy with how the came out!)

“…the pillows arrived on Tuesday and they are precious! Thank you for such a great job! I am basting lace around the edges for the wedding for the ring bearers. My daughter will love them! Anyone who has seen them, says “Wow”! What a great idea! Thank you and your staff for getting them to me in time too!”  Bobbie 05-21-14

“Just received it. It is beautiful!”  Helen – 05-19-14

And last we have a project from Terry in Omaha, to quote: “It took me awhile but there is love in every stitch! So glad i found your website!”

If you look closely, you can see she found the same fabric from dog’s bed that he loved and used it for the pillow!  She even put the family’s names into it.  Nice stitching Terry!

First off, we have the Taza and Poitiers pillows, both are elegant designs especially designed for weddings.

On to my other favorite hobby (or job :-), custom needlepoint belts!  If you look closely at the second canvas from the left, you will see a fencing foil setup, and next to that is what I’m calling a liberty belt!  Fun colors and it has a liberty bell and the Grand Union flag from 1776.

There were so many great projects, but this week one took up almost half the workshop table!  This large custom needlepoint kit was made from a photo.  It is going to look amazing when finished.  I liked that they used a lot of colors so details came through.  But there was enough contrast that the colors are still pretty easy to follow on the canvas. (sorry the photo is a bit dark, but you’ll get the idea!)

If you are a fan of John James Audubon, then you may recognize these two designs!  Most of his art is in the common domain, so let us know if you have a project you’d like to stitch! (again sorry for the darker image)

Last but not least, we have a custom dog collar from our pink mountain design, and a church logo which will be stitched for the pastors office!

Friday Favorites – Needlepoint Coat of Arms – Famous Quotes – New Jersey

This week we had some challenges that made some really beautiful needlepoint kits!

The coat of arms, we had to do a little research but I think we nailed it.

Famous quotes are always fun, one was a great one with Winnie the Pooh, the other is from Louisa May Alcott. This picture is taken along with our geometric heart needlepoint canvas in the picture below.

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!

Three New Personalized Wedding Ring Bearer Pillows

Tracy has outdone herself again, I keep wondering how she does it!

I’m going to start with my favorite, the Red Lace Personalized Ring Bearer Pillow.  I think I love it because it adds just a little modern twist on an elegant classic design that is pretty much timeless.

Next is the Salo Ring Bearer Pillow Needlepoint Kit (or you can buy it as a finished pillow).  It features interlocking hearts and simple modern pattern for a bit more playful wedding.

The last new design this week is our Dove Love Custom Wedding Ring Bearer Pillow.  Doves have long been a symbol of love and peace and the design brings a bit of an eclectic feel for a couple who likes to bring a bit more color into their lives.
