Congress Cloth Custom Needlepoint Canvases

May 23, 2012

This week we did two custom needlepoint canvases for a shop, and for the fist time we printed onto congress cloth.

It was a really neat looking project, as the artwork came from  a trip to India.  It is very delicate hand painted artwork with a lot of details, so using 24 mesh congress cloth made sense.

You can see in the photo all the detail and how well the printed needlepoint canvas looks.  You can click on the images to zoom in for more detail.

NeedlePaint Reviews

OK, every week we get good feedback, but a few special needlepoint kits we shipped out got really good needlepoint reviews that I figured I would share.

“We’ve been out of town for several days and just returned last night.  Your canvas was waiting for me when we got back, and I absolutely could not be more delighted!  I’ve already started stitching, and will send a photo as soon as it’s done.  Thanks so much for doing this marvelous canvas for me and for getting it to me so quickly.  I also appreciate your personal touch:  you color changes were square on. 

I will definitely be ordering more personal canvases in the future and look forward to working with you again and again.”

One more–

“HOLY CRAP IT’S GORGEOUS!!!!

So happy! Will definitely be back and will send photos of the finished work.”

Christopher – NY, NY

Well, this is probably a boring post for most, but we love to get feedback, and as a reminder, we have a 60 day return policy here at NeedlePaint.com so if you are not happy with your canvas for any reason, we offer full refunds.

Happy Stitching!

Friday Design Inspiration – New Needlepoint Kits This Week

We make so many great custom needlepoint kits, that I realized that we should be sharing them with our readers!  (With their permission of course)

This week a customer designed a needlepoint canvas that not only looks amazing, but has a great story behind it.

These red shoes took her around Croatia, after connecting with relatives from the “old country”.  The story behind them, is that they were lent to her durning a rainy  week by her cousin, and her daughter took a picture of them before returning them.

What a great picture, and think about how great is this going to look when it is stitched!

Custom Cross Stitch Kits and Printed Canvas

About a month ago, we got a project for a custom cross stitch pattern.  But, after talking to the customer for a while, it became clear that she wanted the artwork on the canvas to help her out.  She already had the thread and guide from years ago.

I mentioned that since we almost always do this on needlepoint canvases, that I thought it would be easy to do this onto cross stitch.  It came out really well!

One of our customers, Hala Alfi, just finished two of her custom needlepoint canvases into beautiful pillows.

These designs were made using needlepoint kits from NeedlePaint.com  where you can upload your own photo to design needlepoint canvases online.

I love the framed box edges on the pillows, they give an elegant look, while adding extra size to the pillow.

Many thanks Hala!  Keep up the beautiful work!

Not every wedding is formal, but all of our ring bearer needlepoint kits were!

In order to help out with this problem, we have just added a new ring bearer pillow design to NeedlePaint.com.

These funky polka dot needlepoint designs are not just great for a fun wedding but could be a great accent pillow in their new home.

Or, if you want to design your own needlepoint pillows, we can change the words to something of your choice, and a size to fit your home.

Which of these is your favorite?

One of our customers just finished her needlepoint ring bearer pillow and we love it!

The needlepoint kit is was our gray timeless design but what I really love is how she framed the pillow and made a box edge.  Also, the charcoal gray velevet looks great!

Finally, see if you can notice the extra Bling she added!
