WE DELIVER INSPIRATION

Needleworks retired from selling canvas and thread products in February 2019.

We are one of the few ‘retail brick-and-mortar’ services dedicated to needlepoint finishing, and the only one in the state of Alabama. We cherish the special relationships we maintain by working directly with our clients and are proud to finish projects only under the Needleworks name.

We endeavor to enhance the appearance of needlepoint creations. We encourage stitchers to continue the art of needlepoint and provide a lasting impression for future generations. Each project is designed with the conviction that needlepoint should be both beautiful and useful.

WHAT WE DO

We are a first-class finishing service. Our fully-staffed workroom is composed of a team of specially-trained individuals, including designers, product developers, seamstresses, and textile experts. Whatever the project — an ornament, sign, or stocking — our staff assembles your piece to the industry’s highest standards so that it will become a treasured heirloom.

OUR STYLE

In choosing to work with us, you’ll discover that our focus is less about us and more about presenting a plan for your project. Our information gathering is uncomplicated and designed to be helpful. We usually ask questions such as what colors you like and dislike, and what details you prefer to emphasize.

Our project manager passionately ensures that her team creates a product that exceeds your expectations, and our designers bring the vision for each project to life. Our crew is one of the best in the business. We take great pride in our craft, and it shows.

OUR COMMITMENT

Our designers connect technical expertise with a client’s hopes and imagination. The project manager and crew of skilled artisans are vital components to our workroom’s success. Our team works collaboratively to build innovative projects using best practices. We take great pride in all that we do­. We possess an eye for detail and a commitment to excellence.

For 23 years, Judith Hartley Carter has served as principal and founder. She continues as an adviser to a hand-picked design team committed to the continuation of Needleworks.
