Needle art and needlework are undeniably lovely pieces of artwork. Unlike other art forms, needlework is a labour-intensive and incredibly nimble craft that showcases the artist’s skills, creativity, and love for creating impressive pieces through their graceful hand-stitching techniques.

Needle art may not be for everyone because working with such a delicate medium requires incredible patience and an eye for small details. Despite the overwhelming process required in creating such a piece, most needlework artists find the process therapeutic and rewarding.

As delicate as their piece, needle art demands special care, especially when you plan to display it in exposed areas like your living room, gallery area, or hallways as a welcoming piece to your guests.

Sagging and wrinkles are often non-negotiable issues when it comes to needlework. That is why investing in custom picture frames specially crafted to match your delicate piece is the best way to preserve its value. Mahoneys Framing offers a variety of custom framing options for needlework. Whether it is needle art stitched on mesh or cloth, from fine petit-point to cross-stitching, each piece deserves a premium place where you can display them without worries.

When framing your lovely needlework, opting for customised picture frames is a better choice than choosing ready-made frames that may compromise the quality of your displayed artwork. Custom frames can transform needle art into even more stunning works of art that effortlessly draw attention. 

Unlike ready-made picture frames with simple designs, custom framing allows you to create the best-fitted frame for your most delicate piece. You can pick the type of UV glass cover to use to protect it from sun damage and the finishing touches such as matting and backing options. You can also add customised plaques with special texts on them to add a backstory to your piece, making it more personal.

Needlework may also serve as family heirlooms that need to be preserved for the next generation to come. If you prefer to have a romantique vintage look, our recommendation is a walnut custom picture frame. Wooden picture frames perfectly complement any of your needlework designs, making the piece look more unified with the rest of your decor and charming at the same time. With its natural beauty and durability, walnut custom frames add a touch of warmth and a polished look to your needle art.
