Custom Needlepoint Belt Canvases, Colorado and Bow Ties
Our customers have been keeping us busy with some great new custom needlepoint canvases!
We’ve been in touch with a water color artist, who’s art is amazing (see the cat below on the right) It is tricky to transfer the feel and layers of water color, but I have a felling this is going to be stunning when we stitch it into a pillow!
Before I go on, here are a few great comments we got last week from customers:
“The needlepoint arrived Monday, and thank you very much. The canvas turned out better than my expectations. Great job.” Jane 4-2-14
“I just received the belt and man does it look good! Just wow! You all did an excellent job and I’m so excited to wear it to show it off to all my friends and family who have also been eagerly waiting it’s arrival! I may even be able to refer you some business while I’m at it! haha” Mitchell – 5-31-14
Cat and Dog Art Needlepoint Canvases
We’ve got an amazing new sailboat and the flags of some sailing destinations in Europe. Also note the new Elk I designed last week on the hunting belt.
Custom Sailing and Hunting Needlepoint Belt Canvases
These are some fun designs, one is for a wedding the others for kids. I love the tooth ferry pillow, we made an extra little canvas for the pocket to go on the outside!

Last but not least, the Sydney Opera house and some dogs that came out looking really sharp! (wool colors on the dogs are hand matched to the dogs and follow the photo not the canvas)

It is friday, so I wanted to share a photo of some of our favorite needlepoint canvases we made this week!
I took a close up of the cat needlepoint canvas and the needlepoint belt canvases, the mountain belt is our latest design that will go up on the website next week! Sorry the pictures are a bit dark, but I think you’ll enjoy them! Happy stitching!

Sometimes we get requests for hand painted needlepoint canvases, and other times, we’re asked to design canvases that really need a painter’s skill set.
Being in the Denver area, we are fortunate to have a local canvas painter that loves to paint animals! This cat was done for a customer who does not have any single good photo. I spoke with the customer and mentioned that I know a painter who would love to work on this project and interpret all the photos into one design and they agreed.
And I’m glad they did! They are loving this custom needlepoint project!
If you would like to needlepoint your photo check out our website www.NeedlePaint.com, and if prefer to work hand painted canvases, please email us.

Hightail and Tagger Christmas Needlepoint Cat Pillow
We just got a pillow back from our needlepoint finisher, and I have to share the pictures of it!
Helen Dixon stitched this pillow using a custom needlepoint kit she purchased on NeedlePaint.com. She mailed us back the mostly finished canvas and requested the black velvet frame and backing, with red velvet piping, and it looks amazing!
Just in time, this needlepoint Christmas pillow still look sophisticated. The needlepoint pillow is 12 x 12 inches. If you are interested in having your needlepoint kit turned into a pillow, please feel free to contact us, our prices are great, and our pillow finisher has over 30 years of experience!
Close Up, the Needlepoint Cat Pillow, Just In Time for Christmas!
All NeedlePaint.com customers get a discounted rate, and if they let us know that they may want to have us finish the pillow for them, we will include a return label with their shipment so they can mail us back the canvas after they have done the stitching. (We do also offer needlework finishing if needed, in this case we finished the cats).
I worked with Susan Segalla a few months ago, to resize two of her photos of her kats (Josie and Tinker) to make into 12 x 12 needlepoint cat pillows. She ordered two needlepoint canvases. We discussed removing the background, but she thought it would be no problem for her to stitch over it. See the image below, it was 10″ high, but we changed the “Advanced Settings” so the canvas would be 14 x 14.

Look how great Susan’s pillow looks! She found a great brown rope trim, and matching faux sweud backing, but the other thing I love are the whiskers! She made them from paint brush bristles. If you are looking to make a needlepoint pillow, Peggy wrote a blog about needlepoint pillows that would be good to read.
