Needlepoint Technique For Stitching A Diagonal Line
An easy needlepoint technique for how to stitch a diagonal line.
Brenda, the founder and designer behind Poppy Monk, discovered needlepoint after moving from New Zealand to the U.S. and searching for calm and connection as a new stay-at-home mom. Drawn to the beauty of hand-painted canvases but frustrated by how hard it was to get started, she had an idea: create kits that make needlepoint modern, approachable, and joyful for everyone.
From her colorful home studio in North Carolina, Brenda designs each kit with a love for vibrant color, playful patterns, and the soothing rhythm of stitching. What began as a personal outlet has grown into a thriving creative business and a welcoming community. Every Poppy Monk kit reflects her belief that stitching should be fun, beautiful, and something anyone can enjoy.
Helen S.Great! I really liked the Christmas Robin and the embellishment stitches suggested
The stitch guide suggested a couple of stitches I hadn’t done before but the diagram if the stitches was very helpful. This will make a beautiful ornament.
Tracey H.Spectacular!
The stitches are fun to learn. The stitch guide is easy to follow. The colors are pretty.
Catherine H.So cute!
I loved this pattern! I will say the darker tan was a bit hard to follow since it's on printed canvas, but you can easily make it work. Just ordered another from Poppy Monk!
Diane G.Definitely Recommend!
Really enjoyed this piece. Charming design and fun to stitch!
Hannah M.Great for beginners!
This made finishing a Christmas gift so easy! I love how clean and professional my project looks!
