We were a big hit at an office recently.\u00a0 One of our customers told people in their office about NeedlePaint and our custom needlepoint canvases<\/a>…<\/p>\n

Within 3 days, we had 3 dog pillow needlepoint canvases under way!<\/p>\n

We all agreed that 12.25″ x 12.25″ will make a good size pillow, and the pillow forms are easily available at JoAnn Fabrics or Michaels.<\/p>\n

From there, we stuck to 14 point mesh since it will be faster to stitch on this size canvas.\u00a0 And then the fun started…<\/p>\n

I was thinking that it would be cool just to put the dog’s profile on the pillow and remove the background (this will be faster to stitch, too).\u00a0 We also added borders as to frame the image, and this was a big hit!
\nIn the end, we had three completely different designs!<\/p>\n

#1.\u00a0 The original image and original background, with a double border
\n#2.\u00a0 The dog’s face, with name below the face
\n#3.\u00a0 The dog’s profile, with a simple border and green background<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

#3. The dog profile with a simple border and background ( original image removed)<\/p><\/div>\n

\nThey all are special, and it was fun.\u00a0 I have designed another fun background and will be happy to do more, just email me your ideas!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A fun deisgn for a black dog!<\/p><\/div>\n

All three needlepoint canvases are under way right now, so we are waiting for images, but I’m guessing it will be a few more months.\u00a0 One of the needlepointers just emailed me an image of their last kit we made for them!<\/p>\n
