Carson's Ornaments!

The first group of Carson's twelve Ornaments came back from the finishers. This year marks a huge transition from high school to college with a great summer job in the middle.

We are so proud of him!

New Chapel Hill Needlepoint Belt!

Chapel Hill Needlepoint collaborated with an artist to create this CHN shop exclusive belt!

Look for The Old Well, Forest Theater, Crook's Corner, Carolina Inn and other great landmarks!

So many great Franklin Street & Chapel Hill town landmarks all on one sharp belt, and lots of great options for stitching this new classic!

Pischke Pockets

Julie Pischke has created wonderful canvases made to go directly onto their own designer tote bags. I loved these bags as soon as I saw them at the Columbus market. I was honored to have Lacy, Julie's daughter, personally deliver my order to the shop.

I got started on the Beets and Lemons that very day!

They are a quick project, designed on 10 mesh! Designed to be self-finishing for the stitcher, Chapel Hill Needlepoint will put it together if you would like. Try one of these projects for a fun new travel tote or give one of these beauties as a gift.

I am so pleased with mine!

There are 10 styles available at the moment, here are just a few;
