It is easy to work up, even for a beginner.

It is a delight to work up because of the gorgeous Dyed in the Wool fibers and because it moves along quickly. Although you are working on 18 count canvas, you are mostly covering two or three intersections at a time.

The directions have been completely tested, and are error free.

The kit includes everything you need to complete the pillow -- a generous supply of fiber, quality interior pillow form, backing material, complete directions for finishing your work of art, including directions for making monk's cord (if desired), a fiber button for the center (if desired), and instructions for assembling the pillow.

The stitches have been carefully selected so that your canvas won't warp or bias, so you don't have to work on a frame.

The fibers have been carefully selected to minimize twisting and maximize coverage of your canvas.

In short, this kit addresses all the problems that commonly plague those who would execute a needlepoint pillow.

Consult with Ms. Haslam about your color preferences, and the color scheme and interior style of your home. Once your order is received, she will put together a kit especially for you. Cost is $225 US plus shipping and handling.

Of course, Ms. Haslam welcomes your messages while your work of art is in progress and is available to help you at any point.
