Acrylic Coasters for Needlepoint

Recently folks on Needlepoint Nation have been asking where to buy acrylic coasters with a space for their stitching.   These shops said they stock acrylic coasters:

Two shops said they have an acrylic finisher.  I'm sure many more do that haven't found the posting yet, so check with your favorite shop.

You can find acrylic coasters on Etsy, too.  My search for "acrylic coasters for embroidery" turned up these:

Warning:  these things may not have enough space for anything dimensional like ribbons or beads.  It's not clear if you can remove your stitching and replace it with something else if you wish, either.  Beware.

If you need something custom, have your favorite shop talk to Kreative Acrylics.  They can do almost anything.

Wonderful Finishing

Nimble Needle in New Jersey has just posted photographs of their latest batch of finished items that have returned from the finishers they use.   There are all sorts of special touches--like switching the color of cording on ornaments to outline a snowman's face in white.  You can see how even a few beads add weight to a piece, admire the ruching on eggs, or the tilt of a dreidel maintained by something heavy inside.  Karen shows off the acrylic trays from Kreative Koncepts which allow a small piece of needlepoint to be slid inside.  The stitching is fabulous, too.

Standard sized acrylic trays are available from Kate Dickerson, Melissa Prince and Cooper Oaks plus your local shop may have a source that can make them to your specs.

If you need something really oddly shaped, talk to Kreative Acrylics.

There is lots of amazing stitching AND finishing here from customers of Nimble Needle.

Finally, it's appropriate that the final finishing for this first Friday of the new year is a new baby's ornament for the First Christmas.  We wish the little one much joy in life!
