Small Needlepoint Kits or Canvases are usually designed for children. We broke this idea in 1999 - when adults wanted a taste of needlepointing - without the overwhelming idea of purchasing the larger kits.
This page shows some of the smaller kits available - the designs are suitable for children - younger adults and - well - all people of all ages.
The kits are fun - quick - easy to stitch - and make great commuter entertainment - enjoy. To purchase - visit the kits or canvases pages.
