Official blog of www.NeedlePaint.com –
where you can design your own Needlepoint!
This week we had a request. Our customer loves the Audubon White Pelican needlepoint canvas we have on our Ebay Shop, but wanted a lighter more fun background. We decided to change the background to show the it standing on a rock, by the edge of the ocean.
It really turned out well! If you ever have an idea for a needlepoint kit, that you can’t find anywhere, we’d be happy to help!

I was looking at Janet Perry’s fantastic website, nuts about needlepoint, today and came across one of the best looking projects I’ve seen in months! The Naoshima Sunset was stitched by Lois Kershner and she won a prize at one of the ANG seminars last year for this!
This is custom needlepoint at it’s best. The background is congress cloth, which was then stitched using light stitches and exposed canvas to achieve this effect.

If you have every wanted to needlepoint a photo, we’d be happy to help. We specialize in making custom needlepoint canvases, and we use: (mono) 10, 12, 14, 18, interlock 14, and congress cloth. You can preview the design on our website www.NeedlePaint.com I also see potential with cross stitch here with exposed canvas.
But, if you can take a class from Lois, she’ll teach you new techniques to use! You can see here needlepoint class schedule for 2013 here.
I was flipping through some magazines last weekend and came across a beautiful tie for men.
The idea was simple and classic, but with a modern twist. A violet background leaning towards red, with a bright pink fleur de lis repeating up the tie every once in a while.
The idea is so simple, it really is the colors that make this needlepoint design special. So I figured why not design our own fluer de lis needlepoint belts. Why not standout this year with your own custom needlepoint belt!

These colors are sure to fit into your home and give it an updated touch. Again, I was inspired by quilt patterns in making these designs. You can find loads of new canvases at Needlepaint! Geometry works perfectly for needlepoint and when stitched turns out beautiful and crisp.
Color is critical component of any quilt and I believe in any room. I love using pillows to accent a room in styling and interior design. Go with neutral colors for your walls and furniture and pop the color with a colorful pillow or rug! The great thing is that you can switch them out with the seasons or just when you need a change. Check out the 2 rooms below… Which one works for you?

Do you love the old masters, but can’t find needlepoint kits of the art you would love to stitch?
Well, you are not the only one who loves to stitch art needlepoint, we’ve recently made quite a few canvases with harder to find paintings for our customers, some dating back to the 1500’s!
Not only that, but we’ve gotten back great feedback, our customers love the DMC color charts and counted stitch guides that come with every custom needlepoint canvas. Or if you prefer, we can print the artwork directly onto the canvas and send you a photographic quality image of the artwork to match your yarn with. (Please note, we hand check colors on all orders, so if the digital preview looks a little off this can be adjusted)
If you can’t find an existing needlepoint canvas, we suggest looking at the Wikimedia Commons website, the website full of artwork that is in the common domain. Type in your favorite artist’s name in the search box and see what you can find.
Below is an example of a search for “Van Gogh”…
