This canvas portrays many of the things that make Michigan unique. Think Cherry Festivals, golf, sailing, water skiing, morel mushroom hunting, snow skiing and sightseeing. And don’t forget that Henry Ford kicked off the American automobile industry in Michigan.

New needlepoint finishing technique

We have a brand new finishing technique, a weighted Roly Poly that will rock if lightly touched. They can be finished with or without the feet. What fun for a Christmas canvas or for a baby’s canvas!

Trillium & needlepoint in Northern Michigan

If Northern Michigan picked the state flower it would be the trillium. They blanket our forests and road sides for a brief time around Mothers’ Day. Now you can enjoy them all year round. Plant some of your own in needlepoint.

Needlepoint Stitch guide on CD – Volume II

Just arrived in our store—the second volume of Ruth Schmuff’s Stitches CD, with over 300 stitches diagrammed. This is a great resource for the traveling needlepointer—no more lugging books along. The CDs are also terrific for creating your own stitch guides.

New Stockings from Alexa Designs

Summery fruit needlepoint from All About Stitching

I found these fruit canvases at the San Diego trade show. The artist, Kim Walton, had a stitched model made up as a darling purse—very fun and summery. They would be wonderful as pillows or framed pieces in a kitchen or sun-room. There are more examples on the Dede Ogden page.

How cute is this canvas made up as a purse? We can finish any canvas in a variety of purse styles, from simple to over the top!
