Sunshine Needlepoint Collective is a curated group of needlepoint artists based in Tampa and throughout Florida. We are dedicated to supporting women designers and celebrating needlepoint as a form of artistic expression.

Through original designs and thoughtful collaboration, the collective highlights a range of creative voices inspired by the color, energy, and culture of the Sunshine State. Each piece reflects the individuality of its artist while contributing to a shared vision of modern needlepoint.

Sunshine Needlepoint partners closely with our artists to bring their designs to life, supporting the translation of artwork into needlepoint canvases and managing production, marketing, and sales through a shared platform built for thoughtful growth and long term sustainability.

Sunshine Needlepoint Collective connects artists and stitchers through work that values creativity, craftsmanship, and community.

If you are a needlepoint artist interested in joining Sunshine Needlepoint Collective, we would love to hear from you.
