Friday Favorites – Needlepoint Christmas Stockings – Belts – and Weddings!

It is friday once again, and this week I’d like to put out a reminder that now is a great time to start your Christmas stockings if you want to be sure to have them ready by this December!

We’ve got a few stockings in the works. The one below is a fantastic photo that we worked into our Christmas Photo Stocking Needlepoint Kit template.

NeedlePaint Belt Reviews

If you follow the blog, you’ll know that we get good feedback, but this blog post is specific to our needlepoint belts.

Last week we send out some more belts and our customers were delighted. Here are two testimonial reviews that we got, makes a stitcher feel good!

“We received it and LOVE it!!!! I want to order another one for my father in law. His birthday is in mid-July but I suspect it may take longer, which is fine (we can just show him a picture and he can wait!). I’ll order another now 🙂 Thanks for all your hard work!” Rachel 5-21-2014

“Just have my husband his belt and he loves it! It turned out so well and it fits perfectly!!! My two sons are so jealous so I will definitely be placing orders for each of them in the near future:) … Thank you again for making my vision a reality and for creating such a wonderful momento for my hubby!” Kathryn 5-20-2014

Well, that sums up the whole design process to happy customer. I always love to put pictures in our posts, so below is a photos we took a while back, but you can see newer belts by going through our blog.

We’re keeping busy at NeedlePaint, and would like to welcome Karen to our team! She is an expert crafter and is going to help out in the workshop. I’m super excited about this!

This week we received a lot of good feedback, on belts, pillows, and needlepoint kits (you may have seen last weeks pictures, very happy with how the came out!)

“…the pillows arrived on Tuesday and they are precious! Thank you for such a great job! I am basting lace around the edges for the wedding for the ring bearers. My daughter will love them! Anyone who has seen them, says “Wow”! What a great idea! Thank you and your staff for getting them to me in time too!” Bobbie 05-21-14

“Just received it. It is beautiful!” Helen – 05-19-14

And last we have a project from Terry in Omaha, to quote: “It took me awhile but there is love in every stitch! So glad i found your website!”

If you look closely, you can see she found the same fabric from dog’s bed that he loved and used it for the pillow! She even put the family’s names into it. Nice stitching Terry!

Custom Needlepoint Wallets

We’ve shown a lot of needlepoint belts on our website, but if you are looking for another fun easy idea for a new project, Kathy at Leatherprize just emailed me some pictures of needlepoint wallets that she finished recently. Don’t they look great?!!

Custom Needlepoint Wallet

These are simple projects for beginners to advanced stitchers who want to stitch something that can be used in the day to day…

We can design a custom needlepoint canvas for you. The design size (including an extra stitch to fold the edge over with) is 9.1 x 3.5 inches. Normally you can repeat a design on both sides, or we can do two different designs!

Monograms, favorite sports, hobies, or teams are a few ideas for mens wallets.

If you are looking for a great needlepoint belt finisher Kathy is your person. We’ve been sending our customers to her and have had great reviews. Poke around her website, there are lots of ideas there that we’d be happy to help design the canvas for you to stitch and have her finish.

Sailing Regatta and Tall Ship Needlepoint Belts

Being a sailor myself, I’m really enjoying two new needlepoint belt designs we put on NeedlePaint last week.

The preppy sailing regatta needlepoint belt features beautiful spinnakers going downwind. The fun colors will draw in the eye, but the tasteful and “fast moving” design will be a hit at the local yacht club. We can even adjust the lead boat to have your spinnaker!

Now, on to another type of sailing, we also created a tall ship needlepoint belt. Classic sailing vessel designs include schooners, cutters, gaff rigs, and even an official full rigged ship. This features a green stripped background over navy. Again, if you know somebody who sailed on a different type of boat not shown, just let us know and we will customize a new boat and put it into the design!

As with all of our designs, both are available as finished belts or needlepoint canvases that you stitch yourself.

Have a great week!
