Personalized Needlepoint Christmas Stockings
Everybody would like to leave their loved ones something special when they pass away so cross stitchers and the companies that develop cross stitch designs are now, more than ever, turning to the classics in order to produce a unique and very personal heirloom.
Celebrations cross stitch
Currently there is a wide range of cross-stitch designs available for you to record those special occasions, such as:
the birth of a baby
a wedding
an anniversary
a special birthday.
You can hang these cross stitch pictures on a wall for a life time and not only will they bring back fond memories of the occasion itself; they will bring back equally happy memories of the person who actually did the stitching.
Generally these designs are aimed at intermediate cross stitchers and when framed and placed in a prominent position can be a real conversation piece.
Christmas heirlooms
Cross stitching a beautiful design or a family scene onto a large Christmas stocking can make a great heirloom that will be brought out and cherished every Christmas.
Generation after generation can fill it with sweets and little treats year after year and when the children ask where it came from, it will be fondly remembered as your handy work.
Crossword style heirlooms
You can use all of the names within your family to produce a cross stitch piece in the style of a crossword. Designing the pattern will take some time as you will need to make all of the names fit together. However, when all of the names are stitched in complementary colours and a pretty border design is put around the name crossword, it will be an adorable heirloom that will be forever in the family.
By leaving space around the edges or by spreading the names out you can always add new family members as they arrive so that it is always up-to-date.
Samplers
Samplers come in all shapes and sizes and they can contain pretty much anything you want them to. They are normally quite intricate projects and so are great to stitch as a family heirloom as they will be admired and treasured with each passing generation.
You may wish to cross stitch a family motto or a saying that you are well known for so that the sampler is personal to you and your family.
... and of Course There's Always The Classics
Why not go all out and cross stitch one of the famous classic paintings such as The River by Monet or the Vase with Irises by Van Gogh. There are now hundreds of classics and more modern paintings to choose from and although they do take an experienced stitcher a lot of spare time they are well worth the effort.
You can pick a painting that is particularly special to you and your family and turn it into a work of art of your own making.
New style cross stitch heirlooms
A number of companies today (including Patterns Patch) offer a useful service where you send them a photo of a loved one or a special pet and they produce a counted cross stitch pattern in your specified stitch count so that the finished piece is as big or as small as you want it.
You can then cross stitch the design yourself and recreate the original photo but in the unique craft of cross stitch.
An Heirloom is a wonderful keepsake to pass on to the next generation of your family, and one that you have cross stitched yourself will be infinitely more special and lovingly treasured. It is a way of passing on a legacy and ensuring that you will be remembered always.

Needlepoint Rugs
Has anyone had experience with selling items on ebay?
Hey there, with the holidays just around the corner finances are very tight, been a rough year. I thought of going out and getting a part-time job, but I have two kids that need help with homework, dinner made, etc. etc. So I was thinking of doing crafts such as jewelry, rugs, needlepoint pillow cases, towels, etc. I was thinking of selling things on ebay and was wondering if anyone has ever tried this and what your experience was. Please let me know. Thank you.
It's fine for when you are just starting out. Make sure you buy a couple of things first so you can learn the process from the customer's point of view.
But it will only sell if you meet the following criteria:
1. It has to be your own design, no patterns or kits
2. It has to be something that's hard to do and can't be found cheaper at Big Lots
3. It has to be useful.

Canvas Needlepoint
How do you hide all those thread "tails" in cross stitch?
I'm just starting to try out counted cross stitch and find that I need to better hide those countless tails of thread that cover the back of the canvas. They weren't noticeable from the front until I added the stick on backing and then they all became very apparent! What do I do so the back is not inundated with roads of thread? (I don't have this problem with needlepoint since everything can be tucked in...what's the trick with counted cross stitch?)
Two bits of advice: 1) run your threaded needle under several completed stitches to secure your tail before cutting it off. DO NOT USE A KNOT! It will cause really ugly lumps under your fabric. You can use the same method when starting a new color (leave a short tail underneath and catch it as you stitch). 2) Do NOT use sticky board to mount your stitching. Why? The glue on the board will dry up over time and eventually, your piece will loosen itself and become crooked in its frame. Also, glue tends to leave yellow stains and if that happens, you'll never get it out. You will get people who say neither of these have ever happened to them but I also know people for whom both have happened. I'd rather be safe and not use any kind of glue. There are other ways to safely mount your stitching.

Case Needlepoint
I need a needlepoint book of old english lettering, upper and lower case letters, with fancy decorative style?
There are ton of these alphabets free online - do you need an actual book (like as a gift) or do you just need the letters? If you need a book, you can find one on Amazon.
If you just need the letters, google for it using the term 'free cross stitch alphabet' (they are mostly monotone, so can be easily adapted to needlepoint), and "grilles gratuites" will pull up the French sites (the French LOVE alphabets, and a lot of them have antique needlework books they are pulling from.)
Here's a site that has a whole bunch of alphabets (upper, lower & set of numbers) for about 20 different fonts:
http://swappons.oldiblog.com/?page=lastarticle&id=275622
Here's one site that put together a sampler using antique alphabets, the pattern for the whole thing is free.

Needlepoint Alphabet
Modern needlepoint derives from the canvas tent artwork that was quite popular during the 16th century and the shadowed wool work in bright-colored yarn that was a craze during the 19th century. In Early American civilization, young girls usually made cross stitch or needlepoint works that normally consisted of a blessing on their families in combination with the numbers and alphabet. This ritual of passing showed not only their ability in stitching, but their literacy as well.
Selecting the canvas is one among the most vital aspects of planning a needlepoint work. Another important thing involves picking out the stitch or stitches to be done in the fabric from among the five basic categories of needlepoint stitches. Even though the two aspects rely upon one another, we will deal with the needlepoint canvas. The size and type of the canvas utilized will have a bearing on the quantity of detail in the blueprint of your work. Apparently, the more elaborate the project, the better the gage of canvas.
Many kinds of needlepoint canvas are used. Double thread and Single thread canvas are with sufficient holes or spaces to let big threads to move through without frazzling. Usually canvas is classed by thread count per inch or mesh sizes. Sizes differ from 5 to 24 threads every inch; standard mesh sizings are 10,12,14,18, and 24. The three kinds of needlepoint canvas available in the market are interlock, penelope and mono.
Mono canvas is available in the broadest diversity of colors (particularly on 18 mesh) and is woven plainly, with one woof thread passing over and below one warp thread. This type of canvas has a good scope for open and manipulation canvas. It is normally used for hand-colored canvases. Penelope canvas is having two threads nearly aggrouped conjointly in both woof and warp. Since these threads can be separate apart, penelope measurements are usually stated in two numbers, like 10/20.
Interlock canvases are having stable mesh intersections although they come with single threads. This happens as the woof threads, break up at the intersection points and enwrapping the warp threads. Interlock canvas is usually employed for impressed canvases. Silk gauze which is a kind of interlock canvas, comes in small frames for tent stitch work. Silk gauze is widely available in 32, 40 and 48 count, while rarely 18 count is sold and 64, 128 and some other counts come handy for miniature needlework.
Designs available in the market for needlepoint work are made in different ways. Charted Canvas, Hand-Painted Canvas, Free-form and Printed Canvas are widely available. In Hand-Painted Canvas, the designer paints the design on the canvas, or painted according to their directions by another person. Some canvases are stitch-painted, wherein each and every thread intersection is fastidiously painted in order that the stitcher has no uncertainties on what color is required to be used with the intersection. They may also be hand-painted, in which case the canvas gets painted with hand and the stitcher will be required to employ his own judgment on the colors to be used in case a thread intersection is not painted intelligibly. Hand-painted needlepoint canvases let the stitcher use his creativity more with unique stitches and threads as he is not required to rely on a separate chart. In the United States this is the most common kind of needlepoint canvas.
