This Is Needlepoint

Our nation has just marked the one-year anniversary of what was undeniably a year of struggle. However, we are choosing to remember it differently because you took these past twelve months and turned them into the most beautiful year of stitching we have seen throughout 20 years in business. Here is how you did it.

               

As you finished each project, you needed something new, so we stocked up! We transformed our classroom into an inventory storehouse and started keeping five times more canvases on hand than we had in the past. Today, anything you see on our website is here and ready to ship. We can still order any design you might like, if you’re willing to wait for it to arrive. As of March 19th, painting services are quoting six-month delivery times. 

  

  

Our new kit line is unique because every canvas intersection is printed to perfection, so you never have to guess where to put the next stitch. Needlepoint To Go kits come with everything you need; a precision printed canvas, specialty thread pack, needles and stitch guides.

The first Needlepoint To Go series provided all of us an opportunity to give something back. Fifty percent of the proceeds from each Sally Staywell purchase was contributed to World Central Kitchen or Doctors Without Borders. Your stitching amounted to $30,000 to those two philanthropies. We also partnered with Two Sisters Needlepoint to create a kit for the benefit of our environment. Those of you who purchased this sea turtle clutch helped raise $4,700 for Bald Head Island’s Conservancy. Your stitching made a significant impact.

    

      

The Candy Cottage Gingerbread House and Merry Wishes Tree brought laughter and joy to otherwise bland winter weekends. And to date, two of you have actually completed BOTH of these projects and sent them in for finishing.
