Melinda McAra
Needlepoint has come a long way since I first learned to paint canvases some 30 years ago in Camden, ME. Today, stitchers have a huge variety of fibers, stitches, and colors from which to choose. Canvases can be assembled into stuffed frogs, picture frames, slippers, purses, belts, Christmas Stockings and so much more. Theme-wise, my designs reflect my New England background and an affinity for anything nautical. My specialty is creating custom designs for stitchers. These can include portraits of houses, pets, code flag belts, monogram pillows, etc. What can I paint for you?
