A Moment to Disconnect and Create

In a world that moves faster every day, it can be difficult to find moments of quiet and creativity.

AW Needlework Designs was created to help people rediscover the joy of an unplugged hobby, something you can hold in your hands, focus on, and enjoy one stitch at a time.

Needlepoint offers something rare today: a chance to slow down, step away from the noise of the world, and spend a few moments creating something meaningful.

Whether it’s ten minutes or an hour, picking up a canvas gives you a moment that is truly your own.

Helping You Paint Your Own Canvas

Part of our mission is helping stitchers discover the joy of creating their own canvases.

For many people, painting a needlepoint canvas can feel intimidating at first. Knowing where to begin or how to approach the design can be overwhelming.


To make the process easier, I created a Paint Your Own Canvas template system designed to meet people where their brain naturally works.


These templates break the process down into simple, approachable steps so anyone can create a beautiful canvas they will be proud to stitch.

What once felt complicated becomes creative, enjoyable, and achievable.
