Our studio

Raised on paint and thread

I learned needlework from my Mom and how to paint from my Pop, never imagining that those childhood afternoons would eventually lead me here. I think those early lessons are where my passion for needlepoint really began, bringing together two things I had grown up learning to love.

When I couldn't find the canvases I was dreaming of, I started painting my own — for me, then for friends, then for anyone in search of something special. The studio is named after my son, Sonny, a family name and my whole heart.

A small team of painters

Our canvases are painted by experienced artists all across the US who love needlepoint as much as you do, working with high-quality paints and an obsessive eye for the intricate details.

Fully custom

Bring us the idea — a photo, a place, a memory — and we'll turn it into a canvas painted just for you, with the level of care and detail it deserves.

The art of hand-painting

Painting by hand is how needlepoint canvases began, and it's a tradition we're proud to keep alive. We spend hours painting it, and you'll spend hours stitching it — needlepoint was never meant to be rushed, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Our stitchers range in age and experience — beginners and lifelong needlepointers alike. What they share is a love of something expertly crafted, unique, and made just for them.
