Needlepoint Sails

Stitch by Stitch in Larchmont, NY has posted something unique to their Facebook page--sailboats with needlepointed sails!


The canvases are by Wisteria Designs.  I've never seen anything like this, so I had to share.

You can see their "Heritage Sailboat Collection" on the Wisteria Needlepoint Designs website.  The model sailboat forms are included in your purchase.
