Jean Smith Design

Jean Smith Designs is a leading handpainted needlepoint canvas company based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, specializing in creating exquisite floral and traditional designs for stitchers of all levels. For over 25 years, we’ve been translating the beauty of nature – from vibrant gardens to antique porcelains – into stunning, hand-painted canvases. Our journey began with a passion for art and a desire to combine it with the intricate craft of needlepoint, influenced by a transformative experience at the National Embroidery Institute in China.

We offer a diverse collection of designs, ranging from classic florals to inspired recreations of historical pieces, all characterized by a unique Impressionistic style and a commitment to artistic freedom. Jean Smith Designs empowers stitchers to express their creativity, providing beautiful designs and encouraging individual interpretation through a variety of techniques, including goldwork, blackwork, and the signature Long Stitch. We cater to the discerning stitcher seeking a sophisticated and rewarding creative experience.
