I Heart the Big Apple
A cheerful New York needlepoint canvas featuring a bright red Big Apple design with classic “I heart NY” lettering — a playful NYC needlepoint project inspired by city souvenirs, travel memories, school spirit, and the unmistakable charm of New York. Rendered in crisp red, cream, green, and brown on white canvas, this design is a fun keepsake for anyone who loves New York City, New York State, or a classic Big Apple motif.
This beginner-friendly needlepoint canvas is simple, graphic, and satisfying to complete, with bold areas of color that make it approachable for newer needleworkers while still feeling polished enough to finish and display. The apple shape gives the design a nostalgic souvenir feel, while the clean lettering makes it especially giftable for New Yorkers, NYC lovers, students, teachers, travelers, and anyone with a soft spot for the city.
Finished as framed New York wall art, a small pillow, an ornament, a decorative patch, or a travel keepsake, the I Heart New York canvas makes a sweet reminder of a favorite trip, hometown, school year, first apartment, graduation, or weekend in the city.

Kitting Your Canvas
At Pierrepont, we offer three thread lines, each with its own character
DMC Pearl Cotton
Our standard kit features DMC's beloved long-staple Egyptian cotton, trusted by needleworkers for generations. With over 500 colors — the widest palette available — every subtle variation in your design is matched with precision, so the richness of each canvas truly comes through. DMC is also the most cost-effective option, making it an especially wonderful choice for beginners and anyone building a collection.
Pepper Pot Silk
Our silk kit graces your canvas with Pepper Pot Silk from Planet Earth Fibers, a single strand of pure silk with a shine that surpasses most of its silk counterparts. Each of its 285 colors is dyed by hand, holding a tonal depth no machine-dyed thread can offer, and its lustrous coverage lends your finished piece the soft gleam of satin. Durable and effortless in hand, it is beloved by beginners and expert needleworkers alike.
Radiance Metallic
Our metallic kit features Radiance from The Meredith Collection, a high-sheen thread with a smooth, softly twisted hand. Across its classic and jewel palettes, the shimmer lives in the thread itself — radiance glimmers the way candlelight does and glides through 18-mesh canvas without the coiling that gives metallics their reputation. Radiance is the choice for holiday canvases and celebration pieces, or for any needleworker who wants their finished work to catch the light.
