I have been on the hunt for this canvas for months and months and finally got it!!
Has anyone else stitched this? I regret not getting it kitted when I bought it but knew I wanted certain threads for certain pieces and thought it would be easier in person.
Is this something you would kit a section at a time, I’ve never stitched something with the many colors and am so excited to start but already kind of lost.
I was in my LNS trying to kit my first stocking today and I was basically discouraged from buying what I had planned. It’s 13 mesh and I had planned on using planet earth silk for the cuff and silk and ivory for the background(a LOT of basketweave). The worker there said the planet earth silk will likely pill over time and suggested pepper pot instead. She also suggested a sock yarn for the background(I think 75% wool, 25% nylon was the one she showed me). I think she’s a great employee and has always been super helpful so I held off on buying anything but I’d love some other opinions.
I’d love any advice or input on thread choices for a 13 mesh stocking. I like S&I but I’m open to other ideas - I really just want something that will hold up over time so my daughter can have it forever. Thanks
How long does it take for Grandmillennial Needlepoint Destashing to accept your request?
Hi everyone,
I don't see them in stock very often, but I was wondering if the Labors of Love naked Santas are still in production and if I should place a preorder and just be patient on getting them in.
I've seen some designs listed as "preorder" or "notify" for designs that I know are no longer in production so before I put eggs in that basket on a few of the naked Santa pieces I figured I'd ask the sub. Thank you very much!
I’ve done some canvases that have detail areas that call for backstitching over the needlepoint base stitches. But here’s my problem: I stitch the needlepoint background and then you can’t see where the back stitches are supposed to go. Does anyone have a way to mark out where back stitches go with having to just estimate? Example is the eyes on this reindeer from poppy monk

My first attempt at a gusseted stand up and feeling super proud!
WHEW! It’s been a while since my last post of this WIP. I got WIP fatigue looking at it and jumped to different projects but finally jumped back in today. Is the top wave reading better than the bottom one? The goal on the revised top wave was to have the blue/gray read as the water crashing and the white part reading as the wave calming down and those white bubbles when the frost settles. Thoughts?
i stitched this rectangle around my hungry caterpillar but kinda don’t like it…is it possible to have this finished as an irregular shape (more of mimicking the caterpillar w/ some boarder)?
if anyone likes the rectangle or has other ideas let me know! i’m also totally unsure of what this will be finished into, so feel free to leave suggestions!
thanks in advance!!!
Anyone have a link for acrylic storage boxes with lids for RG cards? Trying to get a handle on all the cards...it's a lot. Maybe baseball card boxes? Help a girl out...thanks!

Hi, stitch friends! I am trying to find an LNS that is in Queens or LI. I think people seem to forget about the other 4 boroughs when setting up shop. Every store is in Manhattan or BK. Do y’all have any recommendations???
While I do not enjoy it, stitching and finishing a project from start to finish myself is so satisfying
hi everyone, I’ve been doing cross-stitch/ needlepointing for about a year now and have worked on many projects. I started with the goal of one day making a stocking. I believe i am now ready but I have no clue how to make my pattern/ template. I have only ever used patterns I found online but I want the stocking to be personalized. I have a rough sketch of what I want it to like like but I am a terrible artist and am even worse at things like shading. I have no clue how to execute and transfer my idea from my head/ the rough sketch, to an actual template.
any advice would be very much appreciated! thank you!
(I have attempted to use stitchly but it has not helped me much because I am a terrible artist and have no talent there)
I forget where I saw this but it is AMAZING! It has a thread cutter, thimble and needle puller. I’m working on a new piece and I’m having to sew through 3 patches. This little baby makes it easy!
Love how this turned out!! Got to try a lot of different stitches and had a blast!!!
can’t believe I created this. First big project and a lot of lessons learned and flaws, but I’m proud nonetheless
This is what I have been creating… ❤️ bought the template from Etsy, and it will be 3d.
This is the second one I’m making..
KC Needlepoint text deal a few months ago, for a froggie loving friend’s birthday. My first Noboku background and I won thread chicken. I’m a ninny though, and had an extra skein sent last week just in case.
I started doing the background on this barrette, and you can see the white canvas in spots. What would you do to prevent that or is it expected? I could paint the background now that I have picked a color.
Using 4 strands of DMC on 18ct. If you have any suggestions for threads that fill better with decorative stitches on 18ct I would love them. Not redoing this one, but I have a Halloween one to do next. :)
My Mom is a huge princess Di admirer so had to do this for her. I wanted to make it an ornament but I haven’t done one yet and didn’t want to mess it up. Any pointers on my stitching are welcome!! I am winging it but loving my new hobby!
