where you can design your own Needlepoint!
Barbara B recently emailed a picture of the needlepoint pillow she made from a needlepoint kit she ordered from us.
Just in time for Christmas, the receiver absolutly loves it, and who can blame them!
Look at the great stitching, and the piping really works well with it.
Also, the back side is done in a patriotic solid blue velvet plush.

We’re heading out for a week to be with our family! No phones or email, it will be nice… The only project is to design a needlepoint pillow kit for our new niece 🙂
NeedlePaint.com will still be working through the holiday, but we won’t be answering emails or the phone next week (Dec. 31 – Jan 4).
Orders placed between now and then will ship the week of the 7th, and if we have any questions about your order we will get in touch on Monday the 7th.
Happy stitching and wish you a happy and healthy New Year!
As soon as I came up with the Fluer De Lis needlepoint designs, I knew we had to design Snowflake Needlepoint Belts.
Following a similar idea, I made previews of many colorful ideas as a starting point. You can design your own needlepoint belt or have us customize this design to the exact size and colors you need.

My wife was inspired last year by the “war and peace” stocking Peggy stitched for her granddaughter last year. After seeing it, she decided she wanted to make our nephew his own needlepoint stocking.
Not being a very experience needlepointer, I’ve been impressed. At Peggy’s suggestion, we bought the NeedlePoint Book by Jo Ippolito Christensen, and really had a good time with it. Rather than doing all tent stitches, she found it a lot more enjoyable to follow Peggy’s lead, and do most of the sections in different stitches.

As time went on, she got better an better, and now with another addition to the family this year, I’ll have to start thinking of a new needlepoint design to make on NeedlePaint!
This week we had a request. Our customer loves the Audubon White Pelican needlepoint canvas we have on our Ebay Shop, but wanted a lighter more fun background. We decided to change the background to show the it standing on a rock, by the edge of the ocean.
It really turned out well! If you ever have an idea for a needlepoint kit, that you can’t find anywhere, we’d be happy to help!

I was looking at Janet Perry’s fantastic website, nuts about needlepoint, today and came across one of the best looking projects I’ve seen in months! The Naoshima Sunset was stitched by Lois Kershner and she won a prize at one of the ANG seminars last year for this!
This is custom needlepoint at it’s best. The background is congress cloth, which was then stitched using light stitches and exposed canvas to achieve this effect.

If you have every wanted to needlepoint a photo, we’d be happy to help. We specialize in making custom needlepoint canvases, and we use: (mono) 10, 12, 14, 18, interlock 14, and congress cloth. You can preview the design on our website www.NeedlePaint.com I also see potential with cross stitch here with exposed canvas.
But, if you can take a class from Lois, she’ll teach you new techniques to use! You can see here needlepoint class schedule for 2013 here.
I was flipping through some magazines last weekend and came across a beautiful tie for men.
The idea was simple and classic, but with a modern twist. A violet background leaning towards red, with a bright pink fleur de lis repeating up the tie every once in a while.
The idea is so simple, it really is the colors that make this needlepoint design special. So I figured why not design our own fluer de lis needlepoint belts. Why not standout this year with your own custom needlepoint belt!
