NEEDLEPOINT ISN’T JUST FOR PILLOWS ANYMORE!
A needlepoint pillow is a beautiful thing, but those of us who have been stitching for some time may be having a hard time finding the space on our sofas, chairs and floors for another one. The good news is that needlepoint is adaptable for many practical and decorative uses, and many canvases are now being designed and painted for specific purposes. We at Anneke’s are pleased to be able to offer many finishing options and specialty items to our customers. And the fine work of our finishers meets the highest standards for quality.

Needlepoint PURSES AND TOTE BAGS are perfect for displaying your stitchery. Almost any needlepoint canvas, in any size and shape, can be stitched and used as a decorative panel on a sturdy fabric tote bag. But that’s just the beginning! We have many canvases designed to be made into specifically shaped bags - from tiny jewel-like change purses and moire-lined evening bags to leather trimmed satchels, and yes, even Halloween candy bags!

A favorite wearable is a needlepoint BELT. Anneke’s has dozens of hand-painted belt canvases in adult’s and children’s sizes. We can provide you with the name of a finisher who specializes in leather-trimmed needlepoint belts, plus complete instructions for sizing, stitching and preparing your canvas for finishing.

Needlepoint BEANBAGS in the shapes of frogs and turtles are great fun, and can be tucked just about anywhere – on top of your computer monitor, on the back of a sofa, in a bookcase (They make great college dorm pals). We have several sizes of both the frogs and the turtles, and an extensive range of designs from formal to comical.

Display your most treasured photographs in a needlepoint PICTURE FRAME. Our large selection of sizes and designs will allow you to choose a frame that’s just right for that special photo. The finishing we offer is exquisite, with a moire back and custom corded edges.

Are you a collector of Santa figures or Nutcrackers? Or perhaps you or someone close to you is a dog or cat lover. A needlepoint STANDING FIGURE makes the perfect gift for the collector, and Anneke’s has many subjects and designs from which to choose. These are really fun to stitch and lend themselves to fancy fibers and decorative stitches.

For the golfer who has everything: Needlepoint GOLF CLUB COVERS. We have several designs available for men and women, and, of course, fine finishing is available.

CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS in needlepoint are fast and fun to stitch. Let your imagination soar when choosing threads for these little gems. They can be embellished with beads, fancy trims and tassels to make highly personal gifts or decorations for your own tree.

Our collection of JUDAICA includes tallis bags and bands, kepahs, and tiny dreidels. Finishing is available for all of the items, including applying the decorative band to your tallis.

Needlepoint CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS have become a cherished tradition in many families, and Anneke’s has one of the largest design selections you will find. We can personalize a stocking to your specifications, and provide expert finishing with beautiful fabrics.
