Absolutely Needlepoint

You’ll see the white, wooden sign for Absolutely Needlepoint from the road, but the building is set back quite a distance from the road. It seems like it used to be a dentistry or medical office, in my estimation. There is plenty of parking out in front of the store.
Inside, you’ll find the walls covered with needlepoint canvases. Most are meant to be framed or made into pillows, but there is a section of belts. A sample beanbag frog sits on a stool, beneath more frog canvases. There are boxes and picture frames, which have a small opening to hold a completed needlepoint design. And several small designs meant to fit into those small openings. Near the cash register, there were leather key fobs. So you don’t have to just make a pillow. Small projects are quick and manageable. I encouraged my MIL to try one of the smaller ones.
One of the ladies who was running the store that day got my MIL all fitted out with a leather jewelry box, canvas to make a 3″ diameter cricket, the floss and needles to stitch, and a mesh zipper pouch to hold her project on the road.
The travel pouch was my suggestion, since I often hand piece quilts on the road, and I know how important it is to have your stuff ready to grab as you go out the door. That’s the secret of getting hand work done. Bring it practically anywhere!
All in all, a delightful place with everything one would need for stitching happiness.
I asked if they’d mind doing mail order with my MIL, and we were told that they’d be happy to help out from a distance.
