Beginner Needlepoint patterns for stitching on the fly
Create Treasured Heirlooms
Did you know that Grace Kelly was an avid needlepointer after her last film, High Society, or that Mary Queen of Scotts spent most of her life in prison petit-pointing while plotting how to take back Scotland, England and France from her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I?
That NFL players like Rosie Greer found needlepoint to be so soothing he wrote a book about it?
Needlepoint has a long, star-studded past and we would love for you to weave your story into its fabric with us.
Derived from a technique engineered as early as 30000 B.C., needlepoint is a luxurious art form that has been passed down for millennia. Embroidery has since been used as a way to tell history, celebrate creativity, adorn and revitalize clothing, demonstrate activism, project status and most importantly, communicate love.
Today, needlepoint empowers people of all artistic levels to be creative on the go, stitch handmade gifts and most importantly, unplug, all while relieving some stress!
Whether you are a beginner, an enthusiast or have been meaning to pick it back up, I hope my collection inspires you to turn your lengthy travel layovers, in-between moments and treasured stories into lasting heirlooms.
