Responsibility for Enforcement

Laura Davis, Owner, and Founder

Needlepoint by Laura is a needlepoint design company and creator of hand painted needlepoint canvases.  Most of our work is meticulously painted by our owners, but we periodically utilize a supplier for mass production that is contractually disclosed as appropriate.  We strive to provide the highest quality products and comply with the trademarks and legal rights to such artwork.  We produce the product with an emphasis on the fair treatment of anyone involved with our organization and taking health and safety concerns into account.  We value our community and participate in charitable giving to causes that we support, such as the environment and civil rights.
