Back to Christmas Needlepoint Stockings

(Written by Peggy Bond) I had a little more time this year than I had with the War and Peace stocking. Time is not the issue but the challenge is two needlepoint stockings for my nephew’s twins Alex and Isaac – same but different designs are the order of the day.

With plenty of time this season, I decided to experiment with some texture and color variations while stitching. For example, I dressed up the Christmas present in the heel of Isaac’s with a green and yellow checkerboard pattern.

And, then I stitched the background in an oblong reversed cashmere box stitch, but in two different shades of yellow.

For the background diagram above, I have accentuated the yellow color differences. The finished stitching is below. Unless you are aware of the slight variation in the yellows, you probably wouldn’t notice it. However, it does give the finished stocking an added dimension. It almost looks like variegated thread.

More information on these stitches can be found in The Needlepoint Book by Joe Ippolito Christensen.

I am now working on the Isaac’s penguin walking along the powdery snow, and will post my progress in a day or so…

Bowdoin College Campus Needlepoint Belt

We’ve finished designing another stunning custom college campus needlepoint belt!

Bowdoin College is know for the outstanding liberal arts education it provides and the beautiful campus in Brunswick, Maine. Friendships and relationships that are started here endure and grow. The Bowdoin College campus needlepoint belt will hopefully bring back some of those memories.

The campus design features: Hubbard Hall, Museum, VAC, Searles Science Building, Memorial Hall, Massachusetts Hall, the Chapel, Maine Hall, and Baxter House.

We’d be happy to add a monogram and / or the graduation year on either side of the buckle if you’d like. This is available as a fully stitched needlepoint belt, or as a DIY needlepoint kit. It would make a great gift for somebody who seems to have everything!

“IT LOOKS LIKE A WINNER. IF I GET IT RIGHT, I HOPE TO DO THEIR OTHER PETS.” – Claudia 2014-10-20

Needlepoint Belt Monogram Ideas

Looking for different ideas for monograms on your custom needlepoint belt? I’ve seen a lot of great ones, so I’m going to go over some of my favorites.

Typically we design a monogram with First Middle Last initials. Or if you prefer to have the last name in the middle, then the first and middle initials will be on the sides and smaller than the last name initial. With these letters, we most often use a Times New Roman typeface that is more traditional, or a Arial typeface that does not have the flair on the ends (see the EAK monogram below).

Other ideas:

Diamond Monogram – This is where the first and last name all come together in a diamond shape, last name goes in the middle. See JRL monogram, the third image down.

Circular Monogram – We can put the letters inside a circle (see SEC below). Again, last name goes in the middle.

Stacked Monogram – Stack the first and middle name on top of each other, and put the last name in a larger size to the right. See MWC monogram below.

Nautical Flag Monogram – This is where we use nautical signal flags for the monogram. See the top belt below.

Tiny Monogram – Looking for something that is not going to stand out in the design, but still be personalized? See the Tiny monogram below – fourth picture.

Custom Monograms – Do you have an idea not on here? We’ve done monograms from wedding invitations and we have over 200 type faces to choose from. So, send us an image of something you like and we’ll see what we can do! You can see more monogram ideas on Pinterest.

Monograms are important and we include free custom monograms on all of our designs!

“Just wanted to say how much I LOVE my custom needlepoint. Seth was great with all my request, and I am so pleased. I can’t recommend Needle Painters enough. My rabbits look gorgeous and fluffy! I’ll be sending in a finished photo soon!” Miranda 10-2-2014

“I just wanted to let you know that my husband has been wearing his beautiful belt all the time and he always gets comments-everyone loves it. I also wanted to let you know how well it wears!! It still looks brand new.” Kathryn 9-18-2014

So, onto the fun projects this week. First are three canvases that are going to be made into pillows. Each uses a college’s colors, the last name and birth order 🙂
