I am so excited to welcome you all to The Forest Needle! Many years ago I learned to needlepoint from my grandmother and I knew it would become a lifelong passion. Over the years it has led me to so many friends and experiences. I am thrilled to share this love of stitching with you.
Needlepoint is as popular now as it was when I was a child, but so much has changed! The canvases are spectacular and the colors and textures of fibers are magnificent. New cottons, silks, wools, nylon and filament fibers and embellishments make each project exciting and unique.
Our shop is designed with a love of color, camaraderie and fellowship to create a wonderful home for all who love to needlepoint. Our staff is warm and welcoming, and we invite you to stop in and spend some time with us! I look forward to seeing you!
