🎄 2026 Holiday Finishing Deadlines at Needlepoint in Paradise 🎄

Holiday stitching season is here! If you have pieces you’re hoping to have beautifully finished in time for the holidays, please take a look at our 2026 finishing deadlines and plan to bring your projects in early.

Our deadlines vary by finishing style. Please refer to the schedule above for the deadline for your specific piece.

A few important reminders:

🪡 We are not able to accommodate rush finishing. Please plan accordingly and give yourself plenty of stitching time before your deadline.

🪡 Deadlines are subject to change based on our finishers’ workloads and capacity.

🪡 Earlier is always better! You do not need to wait until the deadline to bring your finished stitching to us.

We know how special these pieces are—many will become gifts, family traditions, and treasured holiday decorations for years to come. We’re so excited to help you get them finished and ready for the season! 💕🎄
