Our story
Hand-painted, onecanvas at a time
Hadley's Stitches is a tiny studio built on one simple thing: a real person, painting needlepoint canvases she'd be excited to stitch herself.

A student teacher wholoves to stitch
I'm a student teacher with a love for all things creative, and needlepoint has become one of my favorite ways to unwind outside of school. After falling in love with stitching, I started painting canvases of my own — and found that I loved that just as much.
Every canvas in my shop is hand-painted by me. I love getting to share my designs with other people who enjoy needlepoint too, and seeing someone excited to stitch one of my canvases will never get old. What started as a way to relax after class has turned into a little gallery of pieces finished by people all over — each one stitched into something only they could have made.
“Seeing someone excited to stitch one of my canvases will never get old.”
Why they're special
Little canvases, a lot ofcare
Hand-painted by me
Every canvas is painted by hand, one stitch-square at a time. No printing, no shortcuts — so no two are ever exactly alike.
Always 13 mesh
A comfortable, beginner-friendly count that keeps the design crisp while still stitching up quickly.
Designed from scratch
Sayings, seasons, pets, and inside jokes — I sketch and paint my own designs, and I love turning your ideas into canvases too.
Sent with love
Carefully wrapped, quick to ship, and packaged so it feels like a little gift the moment it lands on your doorstep.
How it works
From my brush to yourhoop
I design it
Each canvas starts as a sketch — a saying, a season, a small idea worth stitching.
I paint it by hand
The design is stitch-painted onto 13 mesh so every square already shows you which colour to use.
You stitch it
Pick your threads and stitches. Basketweave and one colour is all you need to finish a piece.
We share it
Send a photo and your finish joins the gallery, crediting you for the next stitcher to see.
