Needlepoint Shop Austin TX - Hand Painted Needlepoint Canvases from The Needle Works

The Architect is awesome....

When I had my first meeting with John(the Architect)(J2) and John(my builder)(J1), I told them that they were going to have to rein me in from time to time if I got carried away. Well, J1 gave me my first," Colleen don't get carried away" last week and we have only had 2 meetings. They both think my biggest challenge is waiting a year to get started. They are so correct.

J2 got me and Elevation of the store last week and it is everything I hoped it would be. Here are pictures of the site plan, floor plan and elevation.

 

  

 

It snowed! Well kind of....

We got a dusting of snow night before last which is amazing only in that it was 70 degrees in Austin on Wednesday.

Kathy Kulesza is working on a great Texas Boot that is filled with Texas Wildflowers. This is a canvas that Leigh Designs did just for us. Class will be May and I will post pictures of the progress. Information about the class will be posteed on the website shortly. www.theneedleworks.com .

  

It's a mad house at The Needle Works

My good intentions of posting to the blog on a regular basis got a bit waylaid this week because of the sale. It has been crazy.

One of my customers gave me the idea to add pictures of what we are working on in the store and I am going to do that but I am also going to add in what the customers are working on. We have some amazing stitchers in the store and currently many of them are working on projects from a Tony Minieri Canvas Enchancement Class.  Mary Jane is working on a Madonna from Melissa Shirley and Barb is working on a Fan Collage from Lee. 

Kathy Kulesza taught a retreat class to the Lake Houston ANG group in October and several of the ladies live in the Austin area.
