Welcome to the Bristly Thistle needlepoint store!

The Bristly Thistle offers you a beautiful selection of handpainted needlepoint canvases, threads and supplies.

We have just moved into our new store in Petoskey about a block away from the old store. Please come see us!

Amanda Lawford sent us a great selection of her new canvases. The giant Santa's are really something. They are over 30 inches tall on 13 mesh and will lend themselves to interesting stitches and wonderful threads. They can be finished as a framed piece, a banner or a standup for your tree. See more new canvases from Amanda and other designers on our New Items page.
