NeedleLot Designs

Designer Hi, I’m Iris, creator of NeedleLot Designs! I'm the designer behind all the patterns you find in my shop! I began creating cross stitch patterns a number of years ago when I was looking for a new way to channel my creativity. I’ve always loved the look of pixel art, and when my mom introduced me to cross stitch, everything just fell into place! Cross stitch design began for me in my student room while I was studying Art History, and it carried on into the years after, when I was teaching Architectural History at university. I’ve always had a love for pretty things, and I like to think my education helped nurture that, even if it wasn’t technically an art degree. Fun fact: I did apply to art school and got rejected, but thankfully that didn’t damage my creative bone! 🦴 Over the years, I’ve shaped NeedleLot Designs into what it is today. As I grew into myself and figured out what truly makes me happy, my style naturally took shape. It turns out I’m drawn to lots of tiny critters, bright colors, and designs that feel quirky and full of personality!
