Friday Favorites – NeedlePaint Reviews – New Needlepoint Designs and Custom Projects

This week we’ll start off with some great feedback we received this week:

“Got it in the mail yesterday!  Thank you.  Am starting on it today and can’t wait to finish.  I ended up sending a picture of the canvas to ***  so he could see it – his 14 year old blind and deaf dog – who he rescued in 2002 from the shelter, died yesterday.  Seeing him on the canvas – and soon on the belt – made him smile.  He can’t wait to wear the belt!  Thanks again,”  Robin 06-10-14

“Thank you. I sent your info to my 3 sisters and a few needlepointer friends. Love your service.” Amy 06-06-14

“Just received it!  Can’t wait!” Andrew – 06-09-14

“I received the belt and it looks really cool… If any of his peers want to order one, I’ll send them to you.”  Sarah 06-11-14

“I finally got the belt and it looks amazing!! I love it!” Ashley 06-09-14

 

Next, is a picture of a the green mountain needlepoint belt that one of our customers just finished (and we just designed a new canvas for).  Great stitching Kaity!

Another fun project we worked on is a custom needlepoint christmas stocking.  The stitcher wanted to feature Shrek in the design as the recipient is a big fan.  I think it came out amazing!

And last this week are a bunch of custom designed needlepoint belt kits that we did.  If you look closely, you’ll see some really great ideas in there.  I love the Mt. Rainier design!  (sorry for the blurry pics, the light was getting low, but I think the ideas come across well enough to enjoy)

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!

Boating and needlepoint have long ties, the look and quality of a hand stitched belt makes the outfit at the tournaments.  Or, when just wearing it around town, people will stop and stare at this design.  This design is also available to stitch yourself as a gamefish needlepoint kit.

This belt features many of the favorites: Marlin, Bluefin tuna, Wahoo, Yellowfin tuna, Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, King Mackerel, Sailfish, and Blackfin tuna. But, if there is something missing or you want to adjust the order, just let us know!

Custom monograms are Free, and you can even change the background color.  Don’t forget to let Tracy know if you love the design!

Classic Phone App Needlepoint Belt for Tech Lovers

New ideas and old designs have been remixed for generations.  Our latest twist is the classic phone app needlepoint belt.  Inspired by Steve Jobs and his team’s work on the original iPhone.  We have interpreted the concepts onto a needlepoint belt.  Some (me included) will say that these are timeless designs and favor them over the new designs that now grace my phone.

This would make a great gift for somebody in the tech industry or who spends a lot of time on their phone or computer.  The design is calling out for customization, such as adding your favorite app (facebook, yelp, etc..) or an app that somebody you know may have created!

Friday Favorites – Custom Belts, Pillows, Reviews, and more

We’re back in the swing of things, and happy with how great the projects we made this week came out.

Not only us, but here are a few more testimonials we received last week.

“Thanks so much for your work on my needlepoint belt last fall!  It’s fully stitched and finished and its recipient LOVES it! ” – Jessica 3-28-14

“The canvas came today and it looks amazing I cannot thank you enough for your help in perfecting the image. I will be sure to send you a picture when it is finished!”  Elise 3-19-14

Anyway, onto the fun stuff, custom needlepoint belts!  Our finishers are gifted, have a look at the belts we did.  The second image shows off the other ends one of which has a statue of liberty design that I love!  (you can see the New York apple on the first image, too)

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!

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!

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!
