We’re stacking the deck with six new state-themed playing card needlepoint canvases — each one a mini love letter to the details that make these places unforgettable. From coastal waves to iconic landmarks, these 18-mesh canvases bring hometown pride and creative flair together in the perfect stitch-sized package.
Whether you’re collecting your home state, a favorite travel destination, or stitching a full deck, this drop is packed with thoughtful nods to every region’s quirks, culture, and charm.
Washington, D.C.
Where history and politics meet cherry blossom season. The D.C. canvas highlights everything from the Capitol Building and Washington Monument to Democratic and Republican symbols, cherries, and the U.S. flag. Even the 771 and 202 area codes and the date 1776 make a patriotic appearance. It’s the ultimate design for anyone who loves a good monument moment — or a balanced bipartisan debate over cocktails.
Connecticut
This coastal classic captures everything that makes Connecticut so distinct — from lobster rolls and Yale University to ESPN, UConn basketball, and the SavilIe Dam Gatehouse in Barkhamsted. You’ll also find waves, a whale, Connecticut pizza, and the mountain laurel (the state flower), all surrounded by the 203, 860, and 475 area codes. A perfect mix of preppy and seaside charm.
Kansas
Follow the stitches home with a Kansas canvas full of heart and heritage. You’ll spot ruby red slippers, tornadoes, a honeybee, wheat, and a proud sunflower — plus the state’s beloved bison and Jayhawk. With area codes 913, 620, 316, and 785, this piece is stitched with small-town spirit and a “no place like home” vibe that’s impossible to resist.
Illinois
From the farmlands to the city skyline, Illinois gets the spotlight it deserves. This canvas brings together cornfields, The Bean, pumpkin pie, baseball, basketball, and Chicago-style pizza — all tied together with the common blue violet, the state flower. Don’t miss the 217, 618, and 312 area codes stitched in for that local touch.
Nevada
Luck meets desert magic in the Nevada canvas. You’ll find aliens from Area 51, a poker chip, Las Vegas Sphere, and slot machine cherries alongside mountain bluebirds, desert tortoises, and Reno’s Hot Air Balloon Festival. The 725, 775, and 702 area codes and the big sagebrush (state flower) round out this high-stakes, high-style design.
Maryland
For the stitchers who bleed black and gold (or maybe just Old Bay), Maryland’s design celebrates all things Chesapeake. Think Ravens (both Poe and football), crabs, Orioles baseball, sailing, and the Domino Sugar Factory. The black-eyed Susan, diamondback terrapin, and waves make it a coastal dream stitched with 301, 443, and 410 area codes.
