                Create Your Own Timeless Needlepoint Heirlooms irlooms              

Here at Needleworks we've been celebrating
Southern traditions in needlepoint for over 15 years!

Whether it’s for a family celebration, to decorate a home, or honor a true friend,
we know the importance of convention and strive to continue stitching our legacy.

So, if you're a girl who's been raised in the South, loves to needlepoint,
and knows the difference between “bless you” and “bless your heart,”
then this is the place for you!

Seating is limited to eight people. Reservations are strongly encouraged. Please contact us to reserve a seat. Also, there are several groups that meet in the Birmingham area and welcome visitors. Contact the shop for details.

Just In Case
If you're not Southern, that's OK. . . we'll be delighted to help you and show you just how helpful "girls raised in the South who needlepoint" can be.

And If you're not quite sure you're Southern, consider what my father said about the South; “It’s a place where nice matters, and where progress does not come at the expense of people.”

Finale
We want to help you with your needlepoint projects and hope you'll find us friendly and knowledgeable. We'll make every effort to assist you in creating unique and individual works of art beginning with the selection of canvas and threads and ending with creative finishing.
