Old World Designs Story

Linda Mendenhall purchased Old World Designs in 1991. Originally at Allied Arts, we have been on Santa Cruz Avenue since 2002. Linda brings fun to any endeavor and has an amazing eye for color and design.
We are a full service needlepoint shop with hand painted
canvases across many subjects, a scrumptious array of
fibers from traditional wools and cottons to yummy silks, metallics, and vegan fibers, and all sorts of fun tools and
accessories.
Classes, private and group, are available for every level of stitcher. Beginners start with a one-hour private lesson. Join us Thursday or Friday for weekly stitch-ins with fellow needlepointers.
If you are pressed for time, we can create a stitch guide for your canvas and even have it stitched by expert needlepointers. When you have completed your piece we would love to help you have it fabricated. Take a look at our
Fabrication Gallery for inspiration.
