Bellpull - People

This hand-painted canvaswork design was finished into a bellpull with black velveteen backing.  The tassel is made from chainette fringe and was supplied by the customer, as was the brass bellpull hardware.  Canvas by LEE.

Stocking - Mickey

This needlepoint stocking is lined with burgundy dupioni silk fabric and backed with dark navy velvet.  It is trimmed with blue twisted cording, a burgundy tassel, and a satin bow.  This large stocking is stitched on canvas, so the canvas is edged with bias tape to prevent fraying.  

Hand-painted needlepoint canvas design by LEE.

Pillow - Textured Chenille

This canvaswork design was framed with mitered corner fabric frames.  The first and third frames are green velveteen.  The second frame is a wonderful textured chenille.  The twisted cording matches both the design and the fabrics.  Design by LEE.

Pillow - Fabric Framed versus No Fabric-Frame

This hand-painted canvas by LEE was blocked and then sewn into a pillow.  The pillow at left has a knife edge with no border, the pillow at right is sewn with a mitered-corner fabric-framed front knife edge.  The left pillow was much smaller and the customer decided that she wanted it redone with a fabric-framed front to make a larger size.  Both have zippered openings and custom boucle twisted cording trim.  The finishing fabric is burgundy velveteen.

  

Pillow - Kimono

A needlepointed kimono was appliquéd onto this purple and black silk dupioni pillow.  Knife edge with a zippered back.  Custom tassels at each corner are made from leftover threads from the design.  Hand painted canvas by Lee Needlearts.

Lee Ladybug Frame Weight

This needlepoint canvas ladybug was sent to me finished.  The backing had been destroyed by a pet, so I took it apart by hand.  I then removed the iron-on interfacing (not acid-free) and cleaned the piece.  The edges of the canvas were edged with bias tape to prevent further fraying.  The piece was then put back together in the same shape.  Handpainted canvas from Lee.
