Making Needlepoint More Sustainable

At Avec Paulette, we believe needlepoint should never go to waste. Too often, canvases are set aside, forgotten in storage, or left unfinished. Each one represents hours of artistry and potential beauty that deserves a second chance.

That’s where we come in. By consigning and reselling, we create a circular path where canvases don’t end up in the back of a drawer — they’re rediscovered, restitched, and given new purpose. What was once overlooked becomes an opportunity for creativity, connection, and joy.

Sustainability in needlepoint means more than reuse. It’s about celebrating craftsmanship, honoring the time and resources that go into every design, and caring for what already exists. Instead of buying new materials every time, stitchers can choose to give an existing piece a second life — a choice that is better for our planet and deeply rewarding for our community.

Every step of our process is guided by this philosophy. From intake to photography to shipping, we’re committed to minimizing waste, reusing materials where possible, and ensuring each canvas is valued. A simple act — consigning what you no longer plan to stitch — becomes part of something bigger: a sustainable cycle of making, sharing, and preserving beauty.

Needlepoint has always been about patience, care, and detail. Through resale, we extend those same values into the future — one where every stitch counts, and beauty isn’t lost, but carried forward.

When you consign with Avec Paulette, you join a community of stitchers making needlepoint more sustainable — one canvas at a time.
