If you’ve been following the blog, you’ll notice we post a lot of new designs.

But, when I see the great custom needlepoint canvases we make, I often want to share those pictures, too.You should see my phone!

Sorry the pictures are not the best quality, but the canvases look great and will look even better when they are finished!

Below are some some needlepoint canvases we made yesterday…

We’ve got another great ring bearer pillow design that we just added to the website.

The grenelle ring bearer pillow needlepoint canvas is inspired by old french patterns and will look amazing when stitched.

It currently comes in two color options, but each personalized needlepoint project is made to order, so if you want to see it changed, just make a note in your order.

If you’ve got a wedding coming up, why not make a needlepoint gift that will be cherished for as long as the marriage!

Heart Retro Shoe Needlepoint Canvas

I’m a big fan of retro needlepoint designs for pillows.

Our heart retro shoe needlepoint design is inspired by the old Chuck Taylor shoes worn back in the 1920’s, but with a fun twist.

It is available in two color options, and can be customized if desired.  Add a name or message below the shoe or to the right.

New Football Needlepoint Belt Design

August 9, 2013

Fall is here, and football teams have already begun their training camps.

Now is time time to show team support and stitch a custom needlepoint football belt.

The Football Needlepoint Belt design features a repeating football, but the possibilities don’t stop there.

Also included in the price is a monogram, and 1 team logo that can be repeated with the football.  The colors can be changed to match the teams colors.  Got a favorite number, we can put that in, too.  So why not order a custom needlepoint canvas?

If you’re looking to purchase a needlepoint belt, we’ve got stitchers, so contact us for pricing!

Hand Painted Custom Needlepoint Canvases

Occasionally we get requests to make hand painted custom needlepoint canvases.

Normally we make stitch counted canvases that are printed, and for a number of reasons, think they are often better (see the image of this needlepointed photo done from a stitch counted canvas ) but, our painter just finished two projects this week, and they are wonderful!

One woman thought the Orangutan was gonna walk right off the canvas!

Check out our latest needlepoint design, the Butterfly Bliss Needlepoint Kit.

I love the colors, background pattern, but especially the butterfly!

This would make a great pillow, or will also look great on the wall as a stand alone piece.

Argyle is great for a Preppy Needlepoint Belt

July 26, 2013

Written by needlepaint

Leave a comment

Two new needlepoint belt canvas designs have been added to our shop.

These two preppy belts use an argyle pattern inspired by this years remake of the classic, The Great Gatsby.

If you’re on the fence, maybe a little quote from the preppy blog Unabasheldy Prep will help inspire you!

“According to the 80s-penned Official Preppy Handbook, the needlepoint belt is a “must accessory for the collegiate B.M.O.C. (big man on campus)”…

Hopefully the part in their blog about the timing and relationships is not the norm, I know a lot of our customers have been able to finish the belts in a matter of weeks!

Photo To Needlepoint Stitched!

Check out the photo needlepoint canvas that one of our customers just finished!

This was done on 18 mesh, and the detail is amazing.  She used a stitch counted canvas, and you can see why I think our photo to needlepoint process really is the best way to stitch a photo.

That said, really it is the stitcher who should be congratulated for her work.  Nice work MJ!!!

(Click this link in case you missed the blog discussing the photo vs stitch counted needlepoint canvases)
