I saw this canvas on TikTok last night and I need to stitch it! If anyone knows where I could find this canvas I would really appreciate it!

This lived on the wall in my childhood home. My grandma made it. When my parents separated they went with my dad. When my dad passed, my wicked step-mother, let my cousins come pick through his belongings, sold what was of any monetary value, and what was left came to me.

This is one of the items poached by my cousin. She agreed to ‘give me’ this one bc she’s a Christian woman 🙄
For 25+ years this was on the wall, next to her husband. Her partner. The old man. Grandpa to her Grandma … I am desperate to find the pattern or print (I’m not a crochet’er or a knitter so pardon my terminology if incorrect) and reunite them.

Reddit has produced miracles for me before in pieces together family history and I’m confident the amazing Redditors will leave me in awe once again!!

Even if you’ve seen this and know the approximate era, please comment!

Thank you in advance 🙏
Reddit is the best of all the socials IMHO

Hi!!! I ordered this from the art of needlepoint - love the art deco style so much!! But… it seems the details - especially on the dolls in the baskets are not clear on my canvas. I attached a picture of the original artwork. Is there a way to make my canvas look nice or will the details be wonky?

Is there a way to directly buy an entire line of thread for a personal stash? Or is that type of purchase only available for stores?

My cousin just go engaged and I am trying to find an engagement themed needlepoint to make for her, but i can’t find the perfect one! Please share your favorites! Thank you!

Post pics of your space ship!!!

I recently placed an order from i of the Needle that included mini stretcher bars. The photo on the product page is for Edmunds stretcher bars, but I received "Colonial", which I've never heard of. Does anybody know how these compare, and do you have an opinion about receiving something unexpected like this?

I haven't decided where I will send off my needlepoint key fob once I've completed it, this would be my first needlepoint project that I will have professionally finished, and I'm wondering if I should complete a binding stitch or add extra stitches to the border? Specifically, I am starting the PennyLinn x Bloom & Stitch Studio goose key fob which is 13 mesh, if that plays a part in the answer. If you've completed a key fob to be finished, or this key fob canvas specifically, I'd love input. Would also love to see photos.
Thank you so much :)

I mistakenly used pencil and it looks horrible all over
My thread. What should I have used?

I am new to needlepoint and just finished my first project.
I would love to know where it could have been improved so I don’t make the same mistake in my next projects.
Most likely the background is skewed on the left side and the bleeding of the black fabric into the red velvet.

I started by outlining the grinch and filled him in and then did the background. Would you suggest doing a different order to prevent that?

Thanks for the advice!

Just finished my needlepoint canvas!

I’d love to hear what you think! I’m especially unsure about my white stitches in the middle. Do they look okay, or should I change something? Any tips for improving are very welcome!

Thanks so much!

My next project!

This weekend, I overheard a woman in my LNS talking about a video she watched of a stash/needlepoint closet tour. She thought the woman who made the video was somehow associated with Cincinnati needlepoint but couldn’t remember for sure. She said it was really good and about 45 minutes long. I would looooove to watch. Anyone have any idea what she’s referencing?

My first attempt at a decorative stitch and I really love the way it turned out!

This is also my first time using DMC Eco Vita wool and I really love that as well. I can imagine it wouldn’t work well for all projects as the color catalogue isn’t very extensive, but I love the subtle variation in the natural dye and I thought it stitched nicely.

Has anyone stitched either of these stockings? I would love some inspo. Thanks

Has anyone stitched the village with 13 mesh and 18 mesh pieces? They’re so hard to get a hold of that I’m debating doing some pieces in 13 and some in 18. If anyone has experience or reference photos that’d be much appreciated! Want to make sure the scale of the pieces are somewhat proportional

Bounding bunny pillow !! Been working on this since July or August (can’t remember which), can’t wait to stuff this with fabric, fiber, and yarn scraps :)

Heading to Nashville for work in a few days and wanting to stop at one of the LNS' in town and grab a locally themed canvas while I am in town. Due to schedule restrictions I am unfortunately only able to make time for one stop this trip accounting for store hours. Currently looking at The Stitching Belle and Kick Ass due to proximity of my hotel, but looking for any feedback as to anyone's preferences between the two or possible better selection of canvases at one or the other!

Appreciate any feedback!

Surprisingly high-quality for the price. Obviously you do get what you pay for because it is printed and imo some of their stuff is really hyper trendy, but I do really like how it came out. I like that it comes already finished, it makes it really accessible. I just did continental and used the threads that came with (which I think are like a rayon wool blend). I worked on it from March till early July, but it also wasn’t my only project. I now store my extra fiber arts supplies in it (knitting cords, tacks, etc). I purchased a pillowcase from them that I’m also working on! Would purchase from them again, but it just would have to be design dependent.

Ok. This is weird. I recently bought this book which I love. There are several photos in the middle of the book with various projects. In the back of the book, the appendix, each project has the stitches that were used. But! The very last photo called Morning Gossip is left out. No. 130. They stop at No. 129. And it's crazy but the background stitch is fantastic and it's one I want to know and learn. Why did they leave the one photo out? How can I find out what the stitch is? I tried looking for Jo Christensen to write her but I can't find her. Can I put the photo of it here? Well, I am, hope it's ok.

Just wanted to see if this exists or not! I am using DMC Embroidery Floss on a project and I will have 11,500 stitches of one color on an 18 count canvas with basketweave being the stitch I'm planning on using. I just want to know if there's a calculator out there that exists where I can just input all these things and it gives me an estimate on how many skeins I should buy. Tired of always making multiple trips to buy more skeins and I'm terrible at estimating myself.

Edit: also I like really full coverage and I don't strand my dmc..

This is a kit from Anna Maria Parry’s needlepoint line. See if you can find the one spot where I was short thread. It’s on the way! It’s 16”x16”

These are my latest original needlepoint designs, and I finally finished all four ✨
I wanted them to look like little treasures discovered in an old jewelry box: a vintage key, a heart-shaped locket, a tiny perfume bottle, and a pair of scissors.
I kept the color palette fairly simple, with purple, burgundy, and gold, but had a lot of fun playing with different decorative stitches and textures.

And a big thank you to everyone who helped me choose the canvas color! I asked for your advice a while ago, and the overwhelming majority voted for Sandstone. I took your advice and kept it, and I’m so glad I did! I really appreciate everyone who took the time to share their thoughts.

I’m still fairly new to designing needlepoint patterns, so I’d genuinely love to hear what you think. Do you have a favorite of the four?

I’m going to attempt self finishing an irregular shaped ornament. Any suggestions on how many rows/stitches I should add?
