About the Bristly Thistle
Hi there! The Bristly Thistle is a needlepoint store in Petoskey Michigan USA. We have the newest designers and canvases in stock for your selection. Many people tell us we also have the best thread selection around.
In March 2008, we moved to our great new store on Bay Street. We have 50% more space and a classroom/stitching area upstairs. You can read more about us and the history of the store on our website.
In June 2009, we opened our second store on Amelia Island in Florida near Jacksonville. We will keep both stores open year round, so come see us in either location!
Please share your feedback on the blog or tips and comments about needlepoint in general.

Hi Michele I just received your March 1708 letter and I want to have your add me to your email list. See above. I am the one that ordered the Cubs Wrigley Field canvas. I just got back from AZ and Cub Spring Training. Just had a great time. Bobbe PS What caught my eye was the new Kathy Schenkel sailboats and the Needlepoint Broad loon.

I am planning to stitch a needlepoint for a wedding gift and the couple is interested in oriental themes – preferably a Buddha. I have not located any canvases with a Buddha so far. Can you help?
Thank you.

Hi Michele,
While up north this past summer, I saw a “monogrammed” canvas in the store, but I can’t find it on the website. Can you please give me some add’l. info. on the canvas….how long does it take to order?….price?…colors available.
Thanks much,
Jean Johnson

Jean, I am sending a number of links from Associated Talents–there are 4
monogram pillow designs.
I will email sizes and prices separately.

Whew! We visit Petoskey each year at Thanksgiving. Look for your store 1st to
purchase needle point supplies. Always my 1st stop in shopping the gaslight district. Freeked out, when we passed the old store, not knowing you moved! (I remembered when the store was by the Mole Hole in the
70-80’s). Glad you are still nearby! We are at the Perry Hotel and will be by Friday after Thanksgiving, to see you at the new location.

I am trying to locate the painted canvas tote, Pink Crabs by Patty Paints. Do you have it?
Thanks!

I don’t have the canvas in stock, but if you can find it and a SKU on her website, I would be happy to order it for you.
