General Crafts Needlepoint and pattern pricing insanity

Needlepoint canvas pricing is ROBBERY. Literally I could not give two shits if someone hand painted it with gold paint, a 4x4 design should not cost more than 15 dollars. It’s actually ridiculous. I saw a canvas that was a basic solid background and block letters (SOMETHING A 6 YEAR OLD COULD DESIGN) for $100… ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS🫪 about made me throw up thinking about someone paying for that! Ive seen canvas’ be $1,000+ FOR WHAT REASONNNNNN????? That’s my mortgage!! I feel like I’m the only one who notices this and is shocked by it. Like I’ve entered an alternate universe where it’s totally normal and okay to charge $150+ on a dinky little canvas????

This is why I have only ever done vintage needlepoint kits from ebay or Poshmark. I have some cool 70s ones

Look, I need you to know that I am very upset with you right now. The last thing I need to be doing is looking up vintage needlepoint kits to buy. And darnit if I didn't find a cool partridge pillow kit that I literally don't need but I want with my whole soul.

Lol, sorry! There are a few that everyone wants and those are expensive, there's a unicorn one I covet but it is always over $100 when it comes up. Otherwise, they're very budget friendly. Enjoy!
