Friday Favorites – Christmas Needlepoint Ideas – Custom Dogs – and Cute Kids Projects!

Labor day is here, and while it is sad to see summer coming to a close, we’re feeling very blessed and happy to help design more great new needlepoint projects.

Here is some feedback from our customers last week:

Before we get to the Christmas ideas, I want you to see the new fish we designed for needlepoint belts this week. They are amazing!

If you love to fish, let us know your favorites and we can do a custom needlepoint belt design for you! Available as DYI needlepoint kit or as a fully stitched needlepoint belt.

New Christmas and Kids Handpainted Needlepoint Canvases

I’ve mentioned her before, but it is aways good to remind our readers.

We have a great painter in the Denver area that will do custom projects for us.

This week I met with her for two projects she painted of kids names spelled out in playful kid shapes. (see the bottom photo)

While chatting, she also had two projects she had finished for women in her stitching group which I love! The angel stocking really came out amazing.

Sailing and Skiing Needlepoint Christmas Stockings

Those of you who are waiting untill the last minute to pick out a canvas to stitch for Christmas this year should check out our two new needlepoint Christmas stocking designs!

The first design in this post hits close to home (Colorado). It is the Winter Ski Christmas Stocking Needlepoint Kit. The needlepoint canvas features snow capped mountains, skiers, and more snow flakes in a fun modern design that opens a lot of fancy stitch possibilities. The name will be personalized to order when your canvas is made.

I’m a sailor, so I really wanted to design something for our little boy. We came up with the Anchors Aweigh Sailing Christmas Stocking Needlepoint Kit. I’m sure you will be seeing a post about this in the future. If you’re into a specific type of boat, let us know and we will integrate it into the design!

“I just got the needlepoint canvas and I am so pleased! The picture details on the canvas are actually clearer than the image I sent you. Since the picture I chose has subtle color changes, I wasn’t at all sure the result was going to be easy to work. But you did a brilliant job with it and I am going to thoroughly enjoy doing the needlepoint. Thank you so much for the outstanding work and the great customer service.” Janis – Aug. 18 2014
