How it Works

Step 1: Prepare Your Needlepoint Tapestry
After completing your needlepoint, add a border of two additional rows around the entire piece (see tips for example). This extra border allows for attaching the cording.

​

Step 2: Complete the Finishing Form
Download and fill out the finishing form with your preferences. Be sure to include all necessary details about your desired finishing style.

​

Step 3: Send Your Tapestry
Mail your completed tapestry and the finishing form to:
8552 Window Latch Way, Columbia, MD 21045

**If paying by check please include with your mailed package.

​

Step 4: Leave the Rest to Me!
Once I receive your tapestry, I will:

  • Block it to ensure it’s perfectly squared.

  • Select a backing and cording based on your finishing form.

  • Assemble the piece in your chosen style: knife edge, boxed shape, or inset style.

  • Fill it with a poly-fil pillow for a polished finish.

  • ​

Step 5: Quick Turnaround
Your beautifully finished piece will be mailed back to you within 2 weeks of receipt.

Owner's Message

My love for sewing began in my late teens, inspired by my mom. I was captivated by the idea of creating something meaningful for someone else. After learning from her, I purchased my first sewing machine at 19. What began with simple sewing soon expanded to cross-stitching, and eventually, one stitch led to another (pun intended!), and I discovered needlepoint.

 

My journey into needlepoint began when I started working for the United States branch of Ehrman Tapestry.​Today, I am proud to be The U.S. Finisher for Ehrman Tapestry—a role that has shaped my career and passion for this art form.​

 

I am fortunate to do what I love from the comfort of my home. My workshop is my haven, where meaningful projects come to life. At the heart of my workspace is a large table where I spread out my projects. Along one wall is my collection of fabrics and cording; another holds my sewing machines, desk, and computer. My mailing station occupies the final wall, with pillow boxes carefully tucked wherever they fit. Personal touches like family photos and pictures of my grandchildren bring warmth to my workspace. The best part? While I work on your treasures, I get to enjoy the occasional run-by hug from my grandkids or a quick lunch down the hall. It’s truly a match made in heaven.​

 

Although I don’t have a storefront, technology allows me to connect with my customers in meaningful ways. I’m always available via text, phone or email to assist with inquiries, fabric or cording color matching, and any other questions you may have. With 25 years of experience and my cherished home workshop, I am proud to offer quick turnaround times and professional craftsmanship.​

 

Today, my family plays an integral role in the business. My youngest son handles most of the sewing, my daughter oversees the monogramming and social media pages, and my oldest son helps with internal business management.  It brings me immense joy to know that the passion and dedication I’ve poured into this work will carry on through them.

 

​It is an honor to bring a piece of your home into mine. Your support of my business and passion means the world to me. I look forward to collaborating with you to complete your “labor of love” soon.​

 

Warmly,

Cindy

“I have been needlepointing for several years and I have made many pillows.  I have always had the professionally finished and Cindy's finishing work is always top-notch.  She is also expeditious in getting them back to me, and her rates are quite reasonable.  I am very happy with her services and will continue to use her for finishing as long as I'm still needlepointing!”
