Custom Coat of Arms Needlepoint Kit

We made this coat of arms custom needlepoint kit a few weeks back and it came out great!  The customer really loves it, and was looking forward to getting started on the project.

Coat of Arms are one of the most popular needlepoint designs we make.  Since most of NeedlePaint’s orders are for custom needlepoint kits, we really excel on projects like this.

If you have a coat of arms you would like to stitch (it can be from a family or a university you attended), you can mail or email us the picture and we’d be happy to make a preview for you.  And, if you want our help looking up a coat of arms, we are here and happy to assist!  Also, if you find the website is not getting the design and colors to look as well as good as you would like, just email us and we will fix it up!

Fun Needlepoint Patterns – Iznik

One of our projects last week was based on a Iznik tile.  The needlepoint pattern came out great on the canvas!

Iznik Needlepoint Pattern

The pattern is so beautiful, it got me looking for more Iznik tiles that would make beautiful patterns for needlepoint and needlepoint canvases.

Here are a few of my favorites!

The history of Iznik pottery is quite interesting.  Originally from Turkey, there are many examples in museums and palace walls.  Wikipedia has a good amount of information online on the subject, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iznik_pottery but the most fun way to browse these amazing patterns is to go to: http://images.google.com and type in “Iznik Tiles”.  Enjoy!

NeedlePaint Reviews

OK, every week we get good feedback, but a few special needlepoint kits we shipped out got really good needlepoint reviews that I figured I would share.

“We’ve been out of town for several days and just returned last night.  Your canvas was waiting for me when we got back, and I absolutely could not be more delighted!  I’ve already started stitching, and will send a photo as soon as it’s done.  Thanks so much for doing this marvelous canvas for me and for getting it to me so quickly.  I also appreciate your personal touch:  you color changes were square on. 

I will definitely be ordering more personal canvases in the future and look forward to working with you again and again.”

Gloria – Atlanta, GA

One more–

“HOLY CRAP IT’S GORGEOUS!!!!

So happy! Will definitely be back and will send photos of the finished work.”

Christopher – NY, NY

Well, this is probably a boring post for most, but we love to get feedback, and as a reminder, we have a 60 day return policy here at NeedlePaint.com so if you are not happy with your canvas for any reason, we offer full refunds.

Happy Stitching!

Friday Design Inspiration – New Needlepoint Kits This Week

We make so many great custom needlepoint kits, that I realized that we should be sharing them with our readers!  (With their permission of course)

This week a customer designed a needlepoint canvas that not only looks amazing, but has a great story behind it.

These red shoes took her around Croatia, after connecting with relatives from the “old country”.  The story behind them, is that they were lent to her durning a rainy  week by her cousin, and her daughter took a picture of them before returning them.

What a great picture, and think about how great is this going to look when it is stitched!

Custom Flower Needlepoint Pillows

One of our customers, Hala Alfi, just finished two of her custom needlepoint canvases into beautiful pillows.

These designs were made using needlepoint kits from NeedlePaint.com  where you can upload your own photo to design needlepoint canvases online.

I love the framed box edges on the pillows, they give an elegant look, while adding extra size to the pillow.

Many thanks Hala!  Keep up the beautiful work!

Funky Wedding Ring Bearer Pillow Needlepoint Kits

Not every wedding is formal, but all of our ring bearer needlepoint kits were!

In order to help out with this problem, we have just added a new ring bearer pillow design to NeedlePaint.com.

These funky polka dot needlepoint designs are not just great for a fun wedding but could be a great accent pillow in their new home.

Or, if you want to design your own needlepoint pillows, we can change the words to something of your choice, and a size to fit your home.

Which of these is your favorite?

If you prefer, you can add the whole names, or you really can stitch whatever text you want!

Timeless Needlepoint Wedding Ring Bearer Pillow

One of our customers just finished her needlepoint ring bearer pillow and we love it!

The needlepoint kit is was our gray timeless design but what I really love is how she framed the pillow and made a box edge.  Also, the charcoal gray velevet looks great!

Finally, see if you can notice the extra Bling she added!

New Wedding Ring Bearer Pillow Canvas Needlepoint Designs

We just created two new ring bearer pillow designs!

The Blue Spice is a twist on our popular timeless needlepoint design.  And the Iron Scroll is a classic design based on iron work from the early 1900’s.  And, as with all of our custom needlepoint kits, the personalized needlepoint canvases can include your own names and dates!

If you have an idea for a canvas but don’t see it on our website, we’ll be happy to make a new design for you.

Happy Stitching…
