Recycling Needlepoint

Our customer came in with an older piece of needlepoint. The piece wasn't completely finished but she had decided to decrease the size of the canvas to focus on what she liked. The piece had been stitched a while ago. But she loved the design and the its soft colors.

She had a vision for the finished needlepoint and came in with trim and fabric she had picked for this needlepoint. So we sent it off -- and when it came back, we realized how right she was. The finished needlepoint is just beautiful. It looks like a fabulous antique.

If you have a finished piece that you have hesitated to finish it, give it a try. You can use one of our fabrics -- or go to a fabric store to pick your own fabric and trim. That way, you can be a greater part of the final piece.
