	<title>Patt's Shower Cat Needlepoint Canvas with Stitch Guide</title>
	<description>Patt &amp; Lee's Shower Cat has been a very popular design.  I sell a Beginner's version of it here on NewNeedlepoint that Patt &amp; I came up with together. This is the original design.

Shower Cat comes with a Stitch Guide by Patt.  The stitch guide shows the special stitches Patt has used on her wonderful sample canvas of her design.

The colors used are quite different from the colors on the canvas, I think they are better (don't tell Patt I said this).  She also uses some very interesting stitches, which are diagrammed in the guide.

&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="images/products/showercatguide.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;

The threads used are Silks, Caron Impressions, Caron Wildflowers, Caron Rachel, Neon Rays, Frye Werks, Fuzzy Stuff, Kreinik #16 Metallic Braid, Needle Neccessities Overdyed Floss, Rainbow Gallery colors.

While some of these are familiar names, a few are new to me but Patt is much more up on the amazing world of Needlepoint Threads than I am, stuck here with my beloved DMC &amp; Anchors colors (although I do carry lots of Kreinik).

The design area is 8 x 9.5 inches.  The entire canvas is 13 x 14 inches, it is 14 mesh.

Patt &amp; Lee Design canvases are Glicee Original Design Needlepoint. These are superior needlepoint canvases, the edges and the colors are crisp &amp; clean.  

I am, for now anyway, selling the Canvas with the Stitch Guide without threads.  I do not stock most of these brands.

I may decide, in the future, to replicate the guide's colors from my stock of threads and colors but for now this is it.  

If you are interested in buying threads with this design they would be DMC #5 Perle Cotton Floss &amp; Kreinik #16 Metallic Braid.

All NewNeedlepoint canvases have folded and machine hemmed edges or carefully taped canvases edges.  Which one depends on how much white canvas is left outside the design area.

Each canvas includes a correct size needle.

Remember to stitch 2-3 additional rows all around the completed canvas for finishing. 

Large needlepoint canvases will be rolled and sent in a mailing tube,
smaller canvases will be sent flat in a padded envelope.  

 I do not offer finishing services.

The Patt &amp; Lee Designs needlepoint canvases are Glicee Original Design Needlepoint. These are superior needlepoint canvases, the edges and the colors are crisp &amp; clean.

	<title>Nothing But Puppies Needlepoint Kit</title>
	<description>I adore these puppies. They are all sitting there and they make me smile.  This is another outstanding needlepoint design by Patt of Patt &amp; Less Designs.

The Patt &amp; Lee Designs needlepoint canvases are Giclee Original Design Needlepoint.   These are superior needlepoint canvases, the edges and the colors are crisp &amp; clean.  

The Nothing But Puppies Needlepoint Kit is exclusive to NewNeedlepoint.com.
  
This needlepoint canvas is an amazing group of puppies. As far as I can tell there are 10 of them, although some are Partial Puppies. 

   &lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="images/products/pupthread400.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;

Puppies uses 18 different colors.  The design is somewhat intricate but the Color Placement Stitch Guide included in this kit will show you exactly what goes where.

With so much detail I recommend using mostly basketweave or tent stitch for this project.

This needlepoint canvas measures 12.5 X 12.5.  The design area is 8.75 X 9 inches.  It is 14 mesh.  

I have assembled this needlepoint kit using DMC #5 Pearle Coton floss, with this much color and such a busy design the clean edged stitching of DMC floss will highlight the detail in this needlepoint canvas.

Puppies should be stitched with a single strand of floss.

Patt &amp; Lee Designs have raised their prices, I am sorry to have to do so also, in line with their new prices

All NewNeedlepoint canvases have folded and machine hemmed edges.  

Each kit includes the correct size needle for this canvas and color use directions. 

The amounts of floss or yarn shown in the pictures are for color only, the actual amounts sent may vary from what is shown.  The colors will not vary.  

Needlepoint thread coverage is not an exact science.  I try to make sure there is plenty to finish each canvas with some to spare.  If you run short e-mail me and I will send you more at no extra cost.

Remember to stitch 2-3 additional lines all around the completed canvas for finishing.

	<title>Mona Lisa Cats Needlepoint Kit</title>
	<description>Patt calls these excellent cats "Kittens", as far as I am concerned they are cats.  Their smiles remind me of the Mona Lisa.

The design area is 10 X 9 inches, the entire canvas measures 14 X 13 inches.  It is 14 mesh.

The Patt &amp; Lee Designs needlepoint canvases are Glicee Original Design Needlepoint. These are superior needlepoint canvases, the edges and the colors are crisp &amp; clean.  

This design is exclusive to NewNeedlepoint.com.

 There are 15 cats, whole and partial cats.  Some are just a belly or an ear, there is very little background here that I can see, it is  all cats.  

I recently assembled this canvas as a kit for a customer.  The kit used 44 skeins of DMC #5 Perle Cotton Floss in 37 colors.  Kitting this design is hard work plus the detailed color placement guide took me a long time to create.  

 I thought about not offering it as a kit, just as a canvas but I know no one (but me) has the range of colors needed for this excellent design.

Sometimes I think I started NewNeedlepoint just so I could have this wall of colors.

The colors shown are the ones I used for the last Mona Lisa Cats Kit, your colors will be , if not exactly the same, very similar.


 &lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="images/products/catthread500.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;

I have assembled this kit using DMC #5 Perle Cotton floss.  A few of the colors approximations of the colors Patt used but overall, the colors are as shown in the canvas.

  I think the crisp edged stitched and many subtle graduations of color available in Pearle cotton floss will be perfect for this intricate design.  it should be stitched with 1 strand.

Included is a Color Placement Stitch guide to show you just where the many colors go on this canvas.

Patt &amp; Lee Designs have raised their prices, I am sorry to have to do so also, in line with their new prices.

All NewNeedlepoint canvases have folded and machine hemmed edges.  

Each kit includes the correct size needle for this canvas and color use directions. 

The amounts of floss or yarn shown in the pictures are for color only, the actual amounts sent may vary from what is shown.  The colors will not vary.  

Needlepoint thread coverage is not an exact science.  I try to make sure there is plenty to finish each canvas with some to spare.  If you run short e-mail me and I will send you more at no extra cost.

 Remember to stitch 2-3 additional lines all around the completed canvas for finishing.

	<title>Patt &amp; Lee's Pirate Cat Needlepoint Canvas</title>
	<description>It's finally here.  This is the Patt &amp; Lee original design canvas that Jane is currently stitching on her wonderful blog: The Chilly Hollow Needlepoint Adventure Blog.

Jane is a excellent stitcher (as opposed to old plain stitch me).  She is using wonderful thread, stitches and ideas for this adorable Halloween themed needlepoint canvas.

Patt &amp; Lee Design canvases are Glicee Original Design Needlepoint. These are superior needlepoint canvases, the edges and the colors are crisp &amp; clean.  

I am not selling this canvas as a kit, at this time.  If you are interested in having me make a kit of it for you, please email me at m@newneedlepoint.com or through this web site.

I can do this to replicate Jane's colors (but not her wealth of unusual threads) or to follow the design.

I can't believe I forgot to post Jane's (the chilly hollow needlepoint adventure blogs) excellent stitching of this design.

&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="images/products/PIRATE CATdone.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;

The design area measures 6 X 3.75 inches.  The entire canvas is 11 X 8 inches .   It is 18 mesh.

This canvas does not include any threads or yarn.  

Patt &amp; Lee Designs have raised their prices, however, since this canvas was in stock and bought at the old price, I will not be raising the price on this.


All NewNeedlepoint canvases have folded and machine hemmed edges or carefully taped canvases edges.  Which one depends on how much white canvas is left outside the design area.

Each canvas includes a correct size needle.

Remember to stitch 2-3 additional rows all around the completed canvas for finishing.

	<title>Trick or Treat Needlepoint Kit</title>
	<description>The kit does not come with a color placement guide.   Please print this listing page to note the few color changes I have made

I think this design is adorable.  Trick or Treat is a brand new design from Patt of Patt &amp; Lee Designs.  This is an advance copy, this design will not be available in stores until June.  

 Patt &amp; Lee Design canvases are Glicee Original Design Needlepoint. These are superior needlepoint canvases, the edges and the colors are crisp &amp; clean.  

Patt &amp; I are good friends so she sent me Trick or Treat to sell now.  That is very nice of her.

There are some surprising details in this 3 cats in their Halloween costumes design.  The Devil Cat is holding his trident with his tail and the cowboy cat has one paw tucked into his belt, cowboy style.

Patt has stitched a wonderful sample of this design.  I have changed a few (very few) colors in my kit of this design.  Further down in this listing I discuss which colors I have changed

  &lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="images/products/halloweencatstitched.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;

The Patt &amp; Lee Designs canvases are Glicee Original Design Needlepoint. These are superior needlepoint canvases, the edges and the colors are crisp &amp; clean.  

The design area is 13 X 9 inches.  The entire canvas measures 19 X 13 inches.  it is 16 mesh.

 I know you can't tell from my picture but the background is a pale silver gray, not white or off-white.

I have assembled this kit using DMC #5 Perle Cotton Floss.  The bright colors and clean edged stitching will be right for this design.  I have made a few small changes to the colors.  The handles to the pumpkins, the top of the trident and the belt buckle are done in a darker gray than they gray used for the claws, whiskers &amp; antenna (is that the right word for it? I am not sure).

I have done the background a pale silver gray.  I have changed to color of the "bee's" wings from gray to a very pale muted gold.  It was all just too much gray.  Other than those changes, I have stayed close to the fine colors Patt used.

  &lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="images/products/treatsdmc.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;

Patt &amp; Lee Designs have raised their prices, however, since this canvas was in stock and bought at the old price, I will not be raising the price on this.


All NewNeedlepoint canvases have folded and machine hemmed edges or carefully taped canvases edges.  I prefer to hem them when there is enough extra canvas to permit it.

Each kit includes the correct size needle for this canvas.

The amounts of floss or yarn shown in the pictures are for color only, the actual amounts sent may vary from what is shown.  The colors will not vary.  

Needlepoint thread coverage is not an exact science.  I try to make sure there is plenty to finish each canvas with some to spare.  If you run short e-mail me and I will send you more at no extra cost.

	<title>Beginners It's Always Something Needlepoint Kit</title>
	<description>I am excited about these Beginner Needlepoint Designs Patt and I have been working on.  This is the first of them and I think it is wonderful.

We started with one of her excellent designs, the Shower Cat and simplified it, took out most of the exacting and difficult to stitch detail, to make this perfect for a novice needlepointer.  Of course, an experienced stitcher can easily add their own details, and customize this.  The design area is 7 X 8.25 inches.  The entire canvas is 13 X 11 inches, it is 16 mesh.

We both thought that adding the text was the thing to do.  We though the cat's startled expression perfectly illustrated it.

The Patt &amp; Lee Designs needlepoint canvases are Glicee Original Design Needlepoint. These are superior needlepoint canvases, the edges and the colors are crisp &amp; clean.  

This canvas is an easy way for a beginner to learn to stitch. The canvas is adorable, which always makes stitching easier, for some reason. I would not recommend it for an absolute beginner.  For them one of my small very beginner beginner's needlepoint canvases would probably be better but for a second or third project, this is perfect.

I have assembled this kit with DMC #5 Perle Cotton Floss. The design has 10 colors and the crisp stitch edges and slight sheen from stitching with Perle Cotton will be wonderful here, plus this thread is a joy to stitch with.

&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="images/products/showercatdmc.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;

The It's Always Something Needlepoint Kit will include detailed and complete directions as well as basic my pretty good basic needlepoint instruction booklet.

 Experienced stitchers should feel free to ignore them.

Patt &amp; Lee Designs have raised their prices, I am sorry to have to do so also, in line with their new prices.

All NewNeedlepoint canvases have folded and machine hemmed edges or carefully taped canvases edges.  I prefer to hem them when there is enough extra canvas to permit it.

Each kit includes the correct size needle for this canvas.

The amounts of floss or yarn shown in the pictures are for color only, the actual amounts sent may vary from what is shown.  The colors will not vary.  

Needlepoint thread coverage is not an exact science.  I try to make sure there is plenty to finish each canvas with some to spare.  If you run short e-mail me and I will send you more at no extra cost.

Remember to stitch 2-3 additional lines all around the completed canvas for finishing.

Each canvas includes the correct size needle.

Remember to stitch 2-3 additional lines all around the completed canvas for finishing. 

For free Needlepoint Instruction and a catalog of the most popular stitches and how to do them, I like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needlepoint

Large needlepoint canvases will be rolled and sent in a mailing tube, smaller canvases will be sent flat in a padded envelope.   I do not offer finishing services.

Carefully Packed &amp; Delivered Free in the USA
