OMG. We need to have a lil fiber arts circle time at the next conference we go to 🫢 This is amazing!

Yes yes yes!!! I love that idea!

this looks incredible πŸ€—

for someone that's completely unfamiliar, what's the process of making something like this?

Well first you start with the design you want to needlepoint - I just took nostr:npub1eequz6v23szzyx9utphsh8kg6kll50wte6sfh4vah8gdjtplcz6qg7at9s β€˜s popular t-shirt design - and create a pattern for stitching it (think pixel art) within your desired size (8.5x11 inches) for whatever canvas pt you plan to use. I’m pretty sure this one was 13pt mono canvas - basically 13 stitches per inch.

Next pick out your yarn colors and stitch your design! I used the most common stitch for the yellow - a diagonal from bottom left to top right / and then a different type of stitch for the background.

After completing the needlepoint part, I got a board and a backing fabric and sewed it together to put in the bottom of my acrylic tray that is specifically made for needlepoint art!

Most commonly with needlepoint you purchase a canvas with a design painted on it, and then just stitch like paint by numbers, and then send it off to a β€˜finisher’ to finish it into an ornament, pillow, belt, etc etc for you.

Here is a canvas I painted & would sell for someone else to stitch (the common way people needlepoint)

I'm in complete awe πŸ’œπŸ˜πŸ’œ
