New Fleur De Lis Needleopint Belt Patterns!

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!

Colorful Stained Glass Window Designs

I love stained glass and the beauty that is brings to a church, home, any type of building.  So I decided to try to create one of those light filled designs in a needlepoint pillow.    Here in Chicago, I have discovered some great stained glass windows, especially at the Smith Museum of Stained Glass on Navy Pier.  If you ever visit us check it out!  But, in the mean time stitch your own with one of our needlepoint kit designs.  You can create that stained glass look by stitching it to a canvas.

This pillow would work nicely to accent stained glass in a room or add some color to a neutral space. You can find in on Needlepaint.com under VIEW MORE NEEDLEPOINT KITS.  We have a couple different color choices, but you can always personalize the color to flow in your space!

Chicago Needlepoint Belt Design and Hip Colorado Belt

I was working on some new needlepoint designs for needlepoint belts, and there has been one in the back of my mind for my home state.

Just adding a simple extra line in the colorado flag takes the colorado needlepoint belt design from good to great.

I liked the idea so much, that it hit me today, while eating deep dish pizza, that we need to make a Chicago needlepoint belt.  One that Cubbies fans will appreciate…

These designs can also incorporate a number or monogram.  Do you have a belt idea but can’t find it online?  Contact NeedlePaint.com and we’ll design something for you.

Great Needlepoint Picture Frames and Design Ideas

Often people ask what size their needlepoint canvas should be for their project.  We recommend sizes that are commonly available in stores as picture frames.  This project was one of them, and the customer created needlepoint designs to fit in 8 x 10 inch picture frames.

We shipped two custom needlepoint kits to her, and what I really love, is how she used a multiple image frame for the one with her boy  The second photo has less reflection and show her needlepoint much better.  Simple custom needlepoint designs look great!

The Multiple Image Frame for Needlepoint – Looks Great!!!

Simple Needlepoint Designs Look Great!

In case you are wondering, the most common frame sizes are:

For Rectangles:  5 x 7, 6 x 8, 8 x 10, 8.5 x 11, 9 x 12, 11 x 14

For Squares:  8 x 8, 10 x 10, and 12 x 12

JoAnn Fabrics and Michael’s Crafts both carry large selections of affordable frames that can be used for your needlepoint projects.

Palm Coast Needlepoint Belt Design

We made a new needlepoint design last week, again for a belt.  It seems our recent blog on needlepoint belts has really drawn some interest in more custom designed belt needlepoint canvases.

The project was pretty simple, the customer wanted to stitch a monogram belt for her husband.  When we spoke, she mentioned that they have two kids and recently moved to Florida.  I got the idea to add two palms to represent the kids and sent her the preview, she loves it!  The canvas came out really well, see below…
