Are you looking for unique designs for needlepoint seat covers to suit the style of your home?
Seat covers for upholstering your dining chairs or piano bench?
…Or to cover your favourite footstool?

Maybe you want to stitch a seat bench pad to coordinate with the rest of your interiors?
Here, I'm painting the finishing touches on the canvas for a large custom seat bench design called 'GINKGO LEAVES' (see below).
I created it in the Prairie Style as a custom design for the foyer of a Prairie Style house.
What seat cover design are you looking for?
To make it easier to find that perfect design for your home, I’ve grouped the designs into the following categories:
NOTE: All the needlepoint seat covers can be made up as upholstered seats or as seat pads. YOUR CHOICE!

PERSIAN DESIGN
I’ve adapted the design elements from an existing oriental carpet to create an elegant seat cover for an 80 year old piano bench.
The dark blue background suited my home, but what about other background colours?
I’ve just painted two canvases with other background colours for this design which my clients had requested to suit their own décor.
Have a look!

ARTS AND CRAFTS DESIGN
The graceful proportions and colours of this William Morris design are well suited to creating an exquisite needlepoint piano bench cover.

The ordered geometry of the Prairie Style creates needlepoint seat covers and seat pads with a strikingly simple and dramatic effect.
The window seat pad at right is the "GINKGO LEAVES" design.... one of six designs created in this very American style from the early 20th century.
Perfect for today’s homes, whether traditional or contemporary!

Needlepoint for Georgian Side Chair
SEMI-ABSTRACT DESIGN
I’ve created a free flowing needlepoint design, hand-painted on canvas, for a client’s existing neo-classic mahogany side chair.
Note: This exclusive custom design is not for sale.
