Black Lab BOOP

How It Began I bring 30 years of canvas painting along with 40 years of stitching to these designs.   As a teen, a disabled parent noticed a decline in her hands and it was apparent that my art skills could help.  On the back of a Dimensions crewel canvas (a manufactured brand in chain craft stores in the 1980s) I repainted the scene larger.  As her disability progressed, I bought larger mesh blank canvas to keep her stitching.   A Business Is Born In 2019, I published several needlepoint designs.  In 2022, a line of over 100 designs outgrew the studio.  Today, the line is distributed to local needlepoint retailers throughout the US with The Collection Designs.  I proudly offer my designs exclusively through retailers. A reversal in patterns, makes for a chic giraffe. Canvas: 7.5 x9" Design:  3" x 5" 18 mesh
