Needlepoint on a Stick

Ice cream is nearly synonymous with summer. It’s like roasted marshmallows from the campfire and sun tan lotion – all filed in the same section of my mind. Needlepoint sits there too – in the part of my brain that smells chlorine, thinks swimming pool, hears the jingle of the ice cream truck, thinks summer. […]

Hebrew Aleph Bet With Pictures Needlepoint

This is my new Hebrew Aleph Bet with Pictures needlepoint design. It is also available in Yiddish for customers that prefer the Jewish language (the letters are the same, but the pictures are different). There is also a design for the English alphabet. I loved stitching this project since it never got boring. There are […]

Hamsa Nature

This is my stitched rendition of Hamsa Nature, a popular canvas of Pepita’s. This design is also available in a simplified version as a siddur (prayer book) cover. Contact me for details if you are interested.

Attention Engineers: Try Needlepoint

Yet more evidence of a strong correlation between math and needlepoint, as I have previously posted. In an article about the scarcity of females in the gaming development community, iPhone developer Quinn Dunki claims it is caused by peer pressure to conform to traditional female roles. Saith Dunki: “The only difference between me and my […]

Another Mathematical Needlepoint

I’ve blogged about math-based needlework before. Now I came across Nimble Needle’s needlepoint that she designed based on a Hilbert Curve. Wow, simply elegant. Her use of color in this design is absolutely critical; aÂ mono-colorÂ version couldn’t have captured it nearly as well.

Alphabet Needlepoints

Alphabets are a popular needlepoint theme, particularly for children’s rooms. Often they are adorned with objects, one for each letter of the alphabet. In the needlepoint pictured above, the artist chose 26 members of the animal kingdom to accompany each glyph. Other times, each letter varies in style or geometric pattern. See these beauties by […]

I Can Needlepoint

We have developed a new line of products, and we’re calling it “I Can Needlepoint”. These kits are packed into these neat little cans, and contain everything you need to complete a stitched barrette or ponytail holder. They come with canvas, needle, thread, stitch guide, finishing instructions, and hair accessory hardware. Currently, you can buy […]

Needlepoint Clowns Abound

Clowns are a popular needlepoint theme. Pictured above is a sweet, tired-looking clown, which I discovered while browsing Twitter. A search on Etsy yields half a dozen others. Ebay lists a whole caboodle of cotton clowns at any point in time, such as this well-dressed jester: Here’s a cartoony character from Flickr: Check out Pepita […]

The Coolest Way for a Guy to Wear Needlepoint

I started working on Yarmulka canvases. These are 6.5 inch skullcaps (that seems to be a popular size) and they can be enlarged to 7 inches or reduced to 6 inches, by request. Here is the first one, a flowery sort of bluey thing: Oh, and with a Star of David right in the center. […]

New Tefillin Bag Designs

I recently uploaded 3 new Tefillin Bag designs to the site, and I wanted to call them out here on the blog. The first of these is a tad on the traditional side, with all the flowery silvery flourishes and stuff: Lots of room for a name on that one. I chose to depict it […]
