Needlepoint Pillow Kits

Needlepoint Pillow Kits are usually 15 x 15 inches - yet - even 16 x 16 inches is truly a small pillow.


Sorry - due to the Search Engines - and others - hotlinking directly to our images - and proliferating Copyright Infringements - we are removing all large images from these blogspots. Please visit -  JAN VOICH DESIGNS - to view the large images.

We recommend finishing your project by inserting the stitched canvases into a fabric frame - which will measure 20 inches square - or larger - should you want.

The fabric used is a raw silk tapestry material - not as strong as velvet - yet we enjoy the light feel.


The examples on this page also avoid tassels and balls on the pillows and cushions edges - making the finished needlework fit into modern decorations.

Needlepoint Pillow Kits

The larger stitched needlework on this page is actually 13.5 x 15 inches - and the mat around - extends it to the 20 square inches (50 square cm.). The sampler needlepoint pillow is 15.5 square with a 3 inch mat around.

The smaller cushion below - measures twelve inches square (30 square cm.) when finished - the stitched design is 5 x 5.5 inches.

Of course, these dimensions may be larger or smaller. You decide - then make a pattern.

To make your pattern - just take a large piece of light weight pattern (tissue) paper - pencil in the exact size of the finished needlepoint in the exact center - then add a 3/4 inch around the pattern - for the seams.

Easy- peasy - lemon squeezy !!

The pillow seen on this page cut the silk tapestry fabric on a slant - to add more excitement to the finished work.

See these designs at - Needlepoint Pillow Kits - by JAN VOICH DESIGNS. They sell the pillow kits or the needlepoint pillow canvases only.

There a hundreds of needlepoint pillow kits and designs throughout the internet and in your local needlepoint shops - so take your time selecting your project.

The large needlepoint pillows above - well - plan sixty hours to stitch one. The small cushions can be finished in ten hours time or less.


Try the small matching designs first - to learn how to make the pillow inserts - just go slowly - take care when stitching - that each stitch is placed perfectly on the needlepoint cushion - then - again -- when finishing the pieces.

The silk tapestry fabric is slippery - so you will have to go stitch-by-stitch - slowly - when using your sewing machine.
