Dianne has created a friendly community atmosphere where you can purchase needlework and painted canvasses or come together for classes.

Very impressive selection of patterns and needlepoint yarn

I’ve shopped at The Flying Needles for several years now, and I’ve found it to be my favorite needlepoint shop of all times. This shop impresses me all over again each time I go (and I don’t hesitate to make the 2 hour drive because it’s worth it). The owner, Dianne Colitz, is not only extremely knowledgeable and gracious but her staff is as well. While the shop is small, the inventory is very impressive. Each time I’m there, it seems I find new inventory, as well as new and exciting threads. The atmosphere of the shop is welcoming and comfortable with several tables where you can sit and stitch with great lighting. Dianne offers many opportunities to take classes, both private and in groups, and frequently brings in nationally known instructors. I’ve found it very convenient to call the shop to order canvases. I also like that I can completely trust any member of the staff to kit a canvas for me. As a bonus, Dianne offers to write a stitch guide for you at no extra charge (these guides can be as simple or complex as you like). I can’t leave out that Dianne created a great incentive program that gives you the opportunity to ‘earn’ a $50. bonus to spend as you like! If you are a beginner stitcher or an advanced stitcher, Dianne and her staff have something for you. The Flying Needles is a must if you love beautiful canvases, stunning threads, self finishing projects, finishing services, and outstanding service.

First time here, won't be last time! Lots of nice canvases and threads. I needed help selecting thread for a project and the woman there was very helpful and nice. I am kind of new to needlepoint and she understood that and was patient with my questions.
