Fenway Park Hand Painted Needlepoint Kit

Another wonderful Boston Sports original design needlepoint from Melinda McAra. The Boston Red Sox have played at Fenway Park for many years. It is an difficult stadium, in the middle of Kenmore Square in Boston with not nearly enough seats not to mention the Green Monster but we all (all of us Red Sox fans) love it. This hand painted design has it all, including the Citgo sign to the left of the stadium. The city was going to take it down years ago, there is no Citgo company anymore that I know of anyway. Everybody protested and now the Citgo sign is considered a Boston Landmark (and so it is). I know I am blabbering like a Boston native, but I used to live not far from Fenway Park and remember the excitement of game days. Anyway, this is a very detailed design complete with people, players pennants and a blimp. I am currently stitching one for my husband (obsessed fan). I have stitched the bottom lettering and am headed up the right side. I figure if I get that much background done I will be sure to finish the whole canvas (and not flake out on it). The design area is 14 X 11.5 inches. The entire canvas measures 15 X 17.5 inches. It is 14 mesh. There are 18 colors in this design and a total of 23 skeins of floss used. I have assembled this kit using DMC #5 Perle Cotton Floss. This kit will stitch up beautifully, the many small details will show very well using this size floss. I have stayed exactly with the colors the designer used, I think they are terrific. The Fenway Park kit includes a very detailed Color Placement Guide. 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 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 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. Carefully Packed & Delivered Free in the USA If you notice that the price is much higher, stupid me made a typo (bad one) and was selling it for less then the canvas cost (DOH)

New York Yankees in New Yankee Stadium Needlepoint Kit

My husband is a dedicated and complete Red Sox fan. As far as he is concerned, I am a traitor even having this canvas in the house. It is a wonderful hand painted needlepoint canvas showing the Yankees in play at the New Yankee Stadium in 2009. Oddly enough, this was designed and hand painted by Melinda McAra, a Massachusetts person and another Red Sox fan. She says they sell. She tells me the wife of the Yankee's General Manager bought one of them. That does not help me with my husband. This design is very colorful, using 14 different colors and full of life and movement. There is a border around 3 sides of the canvas that reads New York Yankees on 2 sides and new Yankee Stadium 2009 on the bottom. The design area is 15.5 X 12.5 inches. The entire canvas measures 20 X 17 inches. it is 14 mesh. I have assembled this kit using DMC #5 Perle Cotton Floss. The cotton floss has sharp clear edges, when stitched. it will be perfect for this design which is packed with detail. The design uses 14 colors and 20 skeins of floss. The ball of white floss is equal to 2 skeins. The New Yankee Stadium canvas should be stitched using one strand of floss. 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 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.

Fuschia Flowers Needlepoint Kit

In New England, where I grew up, the Fuschias are an early spring flower. Every Mother's day I brought my mother one and she hung it from the hook hung from the roof of her tiny front porch just for it. The house was medium gray with white trim and surrounded with tall pines, the effect was gorgeous. This hand painted needlepoint canvas is by Danji Designs. The design is really quite true to life. This is a larger canvas, the design area is 14.25 X 14.50 inches. The entire canvas measures 19 X 18 inches. It is 13 mesh and will stitch up quickly. I have used Paternayan Needlepoint Wool for this kit. I recommend stitching it using 2 strands but you could try a small area of 3 strand stitching and she which you prefer. There is plenty of wool included to do it either way. I had the perfect colors in my stock of Paternayan Wool, these are colors I love. There are 10 colors in this design. I have picked a soft white for the background, to set off these lovely jewel tone colors. I visualize all sorts of stitches here, maybe some satin stitch on the flower highlights. There are many possibilities. 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.

This is a larger canvas, the design area is 14.25 X 14.50 inches. The entire canvas measures 19 X 18 inches. It is 13 mesh and will stitch up quickly. You will need to use a larger size Cotton Floss (like DMC #3) or wool or something with some heft to it to stitch this 13 mesh with. When I look at it, I see many possibilities, fancy stitches that could be used. I can imagine satin stitch for the details on the flowers. This canvas does not include any threads or yarn. 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.

Chrysanthemums Hand Painted Needlepoint Kit

This is a gorgeous, large needlepoint canvas by Danji Designs. It is beautifully hand painted on 12 mesh canvas so it will stitch up quickly, despite it's size. The design area is 13.5 inches across and the entire canvas is 19 X 19 inches. This design can be stitched as a circle or as a square, I have included plenty of background yarn so you can stitch it either way. I think this is one of the prettiest designs of this type I have seen. The layout and the simplicity appeals to me. I have assembled this kit using Paternayan 100% Persian Needlepoint Wool. I suggest stitching this canvas using 2 strands of the yarn. Paternayan Wool is remarkably easy to strand. It can be stitched with all 3 strands, if you prefer a heavier coverage but it does become a little harder to pull the stitches through using 3 strands. I have included Kreinik #16 Gold Braid thread for the gold framework behind the design. This would be wonderful stitched using a Slanted Gobelin Stitch, if you do be sure to double the Gold Braid or the stitching will look too skimpy. The Chrysanthemums Needlepoint Kit will include complete color placement directions using my own hand-made color reference guide (pitiful but effective). 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.

Chrysanthemums Hand Painted Needlepoint Canvas

Very Beginner's Hand Painted Love Kanji Needlepoint Kit

This simple and handsome handpainted needlepoint, from Danji Designs, is for the very beginning stitcher. It uses just 2 colors and is on very easy and quick to stitch 13 mesh needlepoint canvas. Your kit will include my Beginner's Guide Booklet called "Needlepoint Stuff No One Told Me When I knew Nothing". I am told it is helpful. I know it can seem daunting to someone who has never stitched before and wants to learn needlepoint. This very easy kit and directions will take you through a first project and give you the confidence to try other more advanced beginners needlepoint projects. I forgot to mention, the Kanji (Japanese Calligraphy) word here is Love. I thought a deep Rose Red on White were the perfect colors for Love. Below is a stitched sample of a similar canvas (same idea, different Kanji) The kit uses DMC #3 Perle Cotton Floss. It is easy to stitch with, one strand should be used. 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 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.

Hand Painted Pink Alphabet Sampler Needlepoint Kit

I like the simplicity and style of this Alphabet Sampler from Mary Margaret Waldock or perhaps I should say from her studio. Ms Waldock, 76, died in 2007. Her designs, however, are still charming and current. This canvas is only available as a kit using DMC #5 Perle Cotton Floss. The letter's fonts are only duplicated for 3 of them, the rest are all one of a kind. There are 4 shades of rose & pink and 2 of purple used. The DMC #5 Perle Cotton Floss for this kit has a slight sheen when stitched. It will be lovely. I picked #746, moonlight white, for the background. The Reds are a true deep rich red and a lighter shade they call "Christmas Red". I used a medium Raspberry pink and a lighter pink a few shades off. The purple is a true Violet Purple, again with a lighter shade of the same color. The background color is the same for both the Pink Sampler and the Blue sampler. The design area is 11.5 X 11.5 inches. The entire canvas measures 15.5 X 15.5 inches. it is 14 mesh. It can be difficult to do complex decorative stitches around lettering. Unless you are an expert stitcher (which I am not) I suggest you use a plain stitch for the body of the design and maybe a decorative stitch just for the 10 rows of stitching outside the main design area but inside the penciled box. 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.

Hand Painted Blue Alphabet Sampler Needlepoint Kit

I like the simplicity and style of this Alphabet Sampler from Mary Margaret Waldock or perhaps I should say from her studio. Ms Waldock, 76, died in 2007. Her designs, however, are still charming and current. This canvas is only available as a kit using DMC #5 Perle Cotton Floss. The letter's fonts are mostly all unique, the designer only duplicated 3 of them. There are 4 shades of blue and 1 shade of green and 1 shade. of aqua used. The DMC #5 Perle Cotton Floss for this kit has a slight sheen when stitched. It will be lovely. I picked #746, moonlight white, for the background. The blues range from Teal Blue, to Cobalt to lighter blues. The green is a bit more vibrant than the one used on the canvas. I thought that pale green was too weak to hold it's own with these other colors. The Aqua is terrific with them all. The background color is the same for both the Pink Sampler and the Blue sampler. The design area is 11.5 X 11.5 inches. The entire canvas measures 15.5 X 15.5 inches. it is 14 mesh. It can be difficult to do complex decorative stitches around lettering.

Hand Painted Blue Dragon Needlepoint Canvas

Hand Painted Blue Dragon Needlepoint Kit

A handsome (and fierce) Hand Painted Chinese Dragon Design in a round or "Plate" shape from Danji Designs. This designs could be for a novice stitcher, if you felt ready for a larger canvas in a easy to stitch 13 mesh or a more experienced stitcher could use some wonderful decorative stitches and techniques for the Dragon , border and background. The design area is 15.5 inches across. The entire canvas measures 19 X 19 inches. It is 13 mesh. I have assembled this kit using DMC #3 Perle Cotton Floss. The slightly larger floss will give excellent coverage on the 13 mesh canvas. It should be stitched using 1 strand of floss. I have used Kreinik #16 size Gold Metallic Braid Thread for the gold accents in the design. I think this kit will be spectacular, when stitched. This needlepoint kit is suitable for beginners. A color placement guide comes with it as well as my pretty good basic needlepoint instruction booklet. Experienced stitchers should feel free to ignore me.

Maggie Hand Painted Flowers Needlepoint Kit

Before I began NewNeedlepoint.com I has losts of free time to stitch. This is the last canvas from my own collection of Needlepoint Canvases I was going to stitch myself. I obviously love this design since I have held on to it for 2.5 years since I began my web store. This is a gorgeous and very unusual Maggie Design needlepoint of groups of flowers, hand painted by Joseph M. Dunn. This amazing design uses 20 colors. The design is all over the canvas, the only backgound is the taupe areas in between the bunches of flowers. The design area is 14 X 13.75 inches. The entire canvas measures 18 X 18 inches. It is 18 mesh. The canvas is hand signed by both Maggie & Joseph M. Dunn I have assembled this kit using Anchor & DMC #8 size Perle Cotton Floss. #8 size floss is wonderful for stitching 18 mesh canvas, it stitches easily with no pulling and few knots.

Maggie Hand Painted Flowers Needlepoint Canvas

Hand Painted Christmas Tree in the Snow Needlepoint Ornament Kit

This was such a popular needlepoint kit last year that I ordered more and have listed it again. I usually like to have new things to replace the canvases & kits that sell but I really like this design too so.. This is a hand painted original design by Christine Saunders. While it appears to be a simple design, it really is more complex than it looks. There are 9 colors in this design. 11 colors if you count the white and silver Kreinik #12 size Metallic Braid Thread I have included to add the sparkle to the snow. The design area is 4.25 inches across. The entire canvas measures 8 X 8 inches. It is 18 mesh. I have also used the Kreinik Metallic threads for the gold, red and blue ornaments on the tree. #12 Kreinik Metallic is a smaller thread then the usual which is used on the larger mesh canvases. It stitches more easily on the 18 mesh canvas. The same is true of the DMC and Anchor #8 Perle Cotton Floss I have used in this kit. Each ball of #8 floss is equal to 2 skeins of floss, so you will have way more then enough to stitch this. One strand of floss or braid thread should be used. When stitches, this tree ornament is going to really sparkle. 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 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.

Beginner's Hand Painted Bathing Suit Needlepoint Kit

I tried to think of a clever name for this kit but I kept coming back to "Bathing Suit" and that is what it is. This is an adorable hand painted original design needlepoint by Sapna. The polka dot Bathing Suit with it's flower decoration is set in yellow with an outer border design of pink on pink hibiscus flowers. This design can be stitched very simply, by a beginner or can be "gussied up" a lot by a more experienced stitcher. The design area is 6 X 6 inches. The entire canvas measures 10.5 X 10.5 inches. It is 14 mesh. I have changed only only one color in this design, I have toned down the yellow background with a slightly softer shade. The suit has a flower decoration on it in gold with a few lines of detail done in red. I have included a skein of the red but you might not want to use it. It might stand out and dominate the other colors. I would substitute the darker pink or the white for it. The kit is assembled with DMC #5 Perle Cotton floss. It should be stitched using 1 strand of floss. This needlepoint kit is suitable for beginners. A color placement guide comes with it as well as my pretty good basic needlepoint instruction booklet. Experienced stitchers should feel free to ignore me. All NewNeedlepoint canvases have folded and machine hemmed edges or carefully taped canvases edges.

Beginner's Hibiscus Bloom Needlepoint Kit

This pretty Hibiscus Bloom needlepoint is a great way for Beginner or Novice stitchers to learn how to shade needlepoint colors. There are several excellent books on how to do this, several of them are sold here in my web store. I recommend Silk Shading by Claire Hanham in the new Needlepoint Books category, Also Long and Short Stitch Embroidery by Trish Burr, in the same category. Your kit will include an article on Shading Techniques I printed from the ANG web site. There is more information & help there at www.needlepoint.org This is a Hand Painted Original Design by The Station Needlepoint. The design area is 6 X 6 inches. The entire canvas measures 10 X 10 inches. Leaving just 1 inch unstitched border, this design could be stitched as large as 8X 8 inches or as small as the 6 X 6 of the actual design. It is 14 mesh. Your needlepoint kit has enough background color floss to do it either size or any size in between. I have assembled this kit using DMC #5 size Perle Cotton Floss. The canvas should be stitched using 1 strand of floss. I could not make up my mind about the background color so I have included 2 possibilities in this kit. There is warm & neutral Ecru or a handsome very pale purple with a slight silver overtone. it is your choice which to use. This needlepoint kit is suitable for beginners. A color placement guide comes with it as well as my pretty good basic needlepoint instruction booklet. Experienced stitchers should feel free to ignore me. 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 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 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.

Beginner's Hand Painted Valentine Needlepoint Kit.

I loved the Pink Heart's colors and design the moment I saw it. This is a hand painted needlepoint by Danji Designs. This kit is just right for beginner or novice stitchers. More advanced stitchers might like to stitch this as well, using decorative and textured stitches. The design area is 8 X 8 inches. The entire canvas measures 12.5 X 12.5 inches. it is 14 mesh. I have assembled this kit using DMC #5 Perle Cotton Floss. Perle Cotton has a slight sheen when stitched which will suit this design perfectly. Valentine should be stitched using 1 strand of floss. I have kept as close to these wonderful colors as I could, while I have an extensive stock of #5 floss, I could not exactly replicate a few of these shades.

Hand Painted Penguin Ornament Needlepoint Kit

The design here is simple, just 3 basic colors are used. This is an original design canvas from Danji Designs. I have added some Kreinik Metallic White #12 Braided Thread and #12 Silver Braided Thread to the kit, The white can be used to add sparkle to the snow, with individual stitches or drifts and the Silver would add some sparkle to the Penguin's belly. I suggest using the Silver in individual random stitches for that. In fact, if you do do random single stitches, it is best to do them before you stitch the rest of the area. This kit would be good for a beginner, it can be stitched using plain stitches or simple decorative stitches. A more advanced stitcher might like to dress this up with fancy decorative stitches. The design area is a circle 4 inches across. The entire canvas measures 8.5 X 8.5 inches. it is 18 mesh. I have assembled this kit using DMC #8 size Perle Cotton Floss. The smaller size is wonderful to stitch with on 18 mesh. The Kreinik Metallic Threads are #12, also a smaller size for 18 mesh canvas. You will have plenty of floss, #8 Perle Cotton only comes in double skein size balls. This needlepoint kit is suitable for beginners.

Candy Cane Snowman Ornament Needlepoint Kit

I sold a 3 of these charming designs last year here on NewNeedlepoint.com. I love this cheerful ornament so I brought it back for this year, as well. This design is Hand Painted by Gail Lang. It is 4 inch across circle in 18 mesh. The entire canvas measures 8.5 X 8.5 inches. I have assembled this kit with DMC & Anchor #8 Perle Cotton Floss using the wonderful colors in this design, with one small change. The snowman's shadow and his body outline details are in dark teal, not the periwinkle blue as shown. I have included 2 spools of Kreinik #13 White Metallic Braid thread for the snowflakes and to mix in with the snow. The #13 Metallic thread is a smaller size that you will find it easier to stitch with on 18 mesh canvas All NewNeedlepoint canvases have folded and machine hemmed edges or carefully taped canvases edges.

Boston Red Sox Ornament or Medallion Needlepoint Kit

Melinda McAra is, Like I am, a New England girl. She currently lives on Cape Cod and does these wonderful Hand Painted needlepoint designs celebrating Boston sports teams. I have 2 of these great Red Sox Ornament or Medallion canvases. One is in my stitching pile to do for my son (unless I sell it here first and have to order another). The design is done in classic Red Sox colors. The design area is a circle 4 inches across. It could also be stitched into a 6 X 6 inch square> The kit has enough extra floss to do this, if you want to. It is 18 mesh. I have assembled this kit using DMC & Anchor #8 Perle Cotton Floss. Stitching 18 mesh with this slightly smaller thread is much easier, few knots or pulls. We always have a Boston Red Sox Ornament on our tree, it has become a tradition.

Susan Treglown Optical Sphere Needlepoint Kit

This wonderful large canvas is an optical design by Susan Treglown. It has one of her color placement cards attached to it, which I (very messily, I admit..much crossing out) have used to place the colors for the kit for this design. She numbers this canvas as G-523. I don't have any idea how old it is, I bought it for myself years ago, as new. I had trouble finding colors for the color placement card. Susan Treglown often uses sequences of 4 shades in her designs. Not all the colors but enough to make it tricky to kit this canvas. Most designers do a 3 shade color sequence, with 4 a rarity. I have some 4 "runs" in my stock but still...this was a challenge. I am a huge fan of Susan Treglown needlepoint designs. I have 2 more in my own stash, to be stitched when I have more free time (HA). I have one in Progress, it is to be a companion pillow to this one. This is a large 13 mesh canvas, despite it's size it will stitch up quickly. The design area is 15.5 X 15.5 inches. The entire canvas measures 19 X 19. The white canvas area outside the design is barely 2 inches wide on each side and then I hemmed the canvas. In retrospect I should have taped it instead. I assembled this using DMC #5 Perle Cotton Floss. it will stitch up with sharp edges, perfect for this design. There are 18 colors and 23 skeins of floss used here. 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.

The entire canvas measures 8.5 X 9 inches. If you left only a 1 inch border of white canvas all around this could be stitched as a 6.5 X 6.5 inch square, if you preferred. It is 18 mesh. I have assembled this kit using the colors the designer used on the canvas in DMC & Anchor #8 Perle Cotton Floss. I do not think the colors can be improved on.

Hand Painted Crazy Hearts Needlepoint Kit

I think the colors in this design are terrific. They are unexpected, none of your pinks and reds here, the usual colors associated with hearts. This hand painted design by Jane Wheeler has marigold, fuschia, orange, purple, 2 shades of green & yellow. The design area is 9.75 X 9.75 inches. The entire canvas measures 13.75 X 13.75 inches. It is 18 mesh. I have assembled this using DMC and Anchor #8 Perle Cotton Floss. This smaller floss is excellent for stitching 18 mesh canvas. Each ball of #8 is the size of 2 skeins of floss. I have stayed true to the colors in the design, in my selections. I have included the black floss for outlining all the design elements on the canvas, as shown but it is not necessary. If you want to stitch Crazy Hearts without the outlines, I think it will still be spectacular. All NewNeedlepoint canvases have folded and machine hemmed edges or carefully taped canvases edges.
