World Soccer Needlepoint Belt

For the soccer fans out there (or football to those across the atlantic or pacific), we’ve created the new World Soccer Needlepoint Belt.

What I love about this design, is that it features different ball patterns and colors from around the world.  And if you’ve got a specific ball you would like to see incorporate into the design, we’d love to put it on the belt for you!  We can change the background color of the belt and add a monogram too.

All of our belts are made to order, and also available as DIY needlepoint kits, here is the soccer ball needlepoint belt canvas link.

One last photo, this is a belt we stitched that has just a solid green background.  This is actually one of the harder things to do, because any stitching issues show up more obviously.  I’m super happy with how it came out!

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.

Friday Favorites – NeedlePaint.com Reviews and New Custom Needlepoint Projects

Last week we got a lot of lovely feedback, it really makes Karen and I smile to know our customers are loving their custom needlepoint kits and belts that we make at NeedlePaint.com.

“My project arrived and looks great. I appreciate to detailed map of colors.”  Lynn – Aug. 21, 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 – Aug. 19, 2014

“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

“The needlepoint arrived today & it’s great!” Joyce Aug. 18, 2014

“The canvas is perfect.  Thanks so much.  You are the nicest guy I meet online.  I hope Needlepaint is a big success.”  Barbara – Aug. 17, 2014

“The canvas looks beautiful! Thank you!” Alison – Aug. 12, 2014

“I received the needlepoint belt kit today, and I love it!”  Ellen – Aug. 11, 2014

Washington and Lee University Needlepoint Belt

We’ve added another college campus needlepoint belt to our shop!

The Washington and Lee University Campus Needlepoint Belt features the campus’s iconic buildings.  From left to right these are Leyburn Library, Presidents House and barn, Newcomb Hall, Colonnade, Tucker Hall, Huntley Hall, Chapel, and Elrod Commons.

Also note the scene is set in the Shenandoah Valley surrounded by the Allegheny and Blue Ridge mountains. The beautiful backdrop really is sets the scene for this wonderful university.

This design is available as a needlepoint belt or a needlepoint kit that you can stitch yourself!
