I\u2019ve driven by the same local shopping center for over twenty years. When they first moved in, I thought their nautical theme a bit strange as we are located in \u201clandlocked\u201d Denver. Not a location where serious boating happens, but a place where family time is spent skiing down the slopes of the Rocky Mountains. This shopping center\u2019s sign proudly displayed their name \u201cMarina Pointe\u201d flanked with colorful graphic squares, of which I assumed had something to do with boating. I didn\u2019t think much more about this sign, until I noticed all of the nautical belts that customers order here at NeedlePaint<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. As the placement of these flags varied, I soon realized they were spelling out a message, not just randomly placed; and then\u00a0the idea for a p<\/span>ersonalized nautical flag needlepoint pillow<\/a><\/span><\/strong> began.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a>Nautical Flag Alphabet<\/p>\n

After further exploration (and some help from Seth\u2019s sailing expertise), I discovered these colorful nautical signal flags began before short wave radio, as an easy and safe way to relay messages to other boats and people on shore. Each of these flags represents a letter of the alphabet or a phrase.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s busy world, it\u2019s important to connect with family members, whether it be spending quality \u201cunplugged\u201d time together at home or through outdoor activities like boating or sailing. When your not sailing, creating a comforting tranquil home environment, and surrounding yourself with the things that are meaningful is key. Incorporating personal items your grandmother made, your kids created in school, or that you have hand stitched; help save the memories your family has created together. This is truly what makes a living space \u201ca home\u201d.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve created this nautical pillow to remind you of the times your family has spent on the water together. Personalized with your last name and the coordinating nautical flags that represent each letter. Available as a needlepoint canvas for you to stitch, or if you prefer we will do the stitching and create your pillow. Happy Sailing!<\/p>\n
