Our Goal
We have found that there is limited licensed work within the needlepoint industry. The goal of Officially Needlepoint is to legitimize licensed works through hand painted needlepoint canvases and accessories for our boutique/art industry. While unauthorized works exist within the needlepoint world, we intend to offer our customers the opportunity to “stitch the real deal.” We will work with brands to protect and promote their artwork, logos, etc.
