Welcome to Lake Girl Needlepoint
A Fresh Name for a Familiar Place.
After more than forty-five years as The Needleworks, we’re beginning a new chapter as Lake Girl Needlepoint in downtown Birmingham.
Our name and address may have changed, but what matters hasn’t: beautiful canvases, thoughtful guidance, and a place where stitchers can pull up a chair and feel right at home.

The Lake Girl State of Mind
Find Your Happy Place, One Stitch at a Time
Relaxed, inspired, content, and wonderfully unhurried. It’s the feeling of settling in with a canvas, enjoying the rhythm of the stitch, and making a little room in the day for yourself.
Customer Reviews
After ordering items online, one item wasn’t available. I couldn’t find it anywhere. Lisa personally called me on a Friday and offered 3 other comparable items in its place & I accepted. My goodness… the package arrived the next Monday. Will order supplies from The Needleworks, again!
The entire staff is amazing! They are personable and knowledgeable when helping to select canvases and fibers. Highly recommended!!
Excellent staff, very knowledgeable, excellent selection of canvases and threads. Prices are competitive and they are up front about the rising costs of needlework work supplies. I highly recommend.
I called looking for a specialty thread and they were so helpful! They texted me photos of the colors and were so kind. They were able to ship me the products because I do not have a local needlepoint store and I am so grateful they were so helpful!
The owner Lisa is so pleasant to work with. She helped me select threads for a work I had someone design for me. She truly enjoys what she does. She involved me in the selection process. I highly recommend this store! They are definitely a full service store.
Such an inviting and lovely space! They have the entire DMC floss selection available and many other premium flosses that I haven't seen or heard of before. There is an emphasis on embroidery and needlework materials and have many canvas patterns for sale...
