It’s not just pillows! Other needlepoint projects include, our (locally famous) belts, ornaments, purses, shoes, headbands, wallets, checkbook covers, picture frames, Christmas stockings, rugs, bell pulls, luggage straps, picnic baskets, golf stools, tray inserts, and Nantucket Lightship baskets. And when you’re finished with your personal masterpiece, bring it back to NeedleWorks. We provide superior custom finishing for all projects.

C'est Fini, Amanda Lawford, Melissa Shirley, Shelley Tribbey, and JP Designs.

Speaking of your pampered pet, now you can spoil your little darling a bit more. We have a fun selection of leashes, collars, and Christmas stockings.

In addition to our walls of yarn and canvases, we carry distinct specialty items to enhance the hours you devote to needlework.
