About Lee’s Needle Arts 
Lee’s Needle Arts, a division of Colonial Needle, is a wholesale manufacturer of hand-painted needlepoint canvases and self-finishing leather accessories with needlepoint canvas inserts. Started in the late 1960’s by Theresa Lee in Pennsauken, NJ, Lee’s hand-painted canvases quickly became a hallmark of quality and creativity treasured by needleworkers everywhere and include a variety of finely-detailed Asian, tropical, and other popular themes.
As the popularity of the Lee’s canvases grew, the company added quality leather goods as a base for the canvases. These self-finishing accessories included wallets, jewelry cases, credit card holders, purse mirrors, cell phone pouches, checkbook covers and a variety of handbags. Today, Lee's supplies more than 1,000 different designs to needlework shops throughout the U.S. and Canada.
In September 2009, Lee’s Needle Art joined the Colonial Needle Company family of innovative needlework companies. With a history of exceptional customer service, the Lee’s product line complements and expands The Colonial Needle Company line which includes Colonial Hand-painted Needlepoint Canvases (a business that Colonial acquired from Caron International in 2007); Colonial brand Rosewood and Blonde Wood knitting needles; Roxanne brand hand sewing and quilting needles, Glue-Baste-It, and Quilter's Choice chalk marking pencils; Colonial brand knitting, sewing, and quilting notions; and fine English tapestry, needlepoint, sewing, and quilting needles sold under the brand names Colonial, John James, Mary Arden, Richard Hemming and S. Thomas & Sons.
Wholesale orders for Lee's Needle Art products are shipped from The Colonial Needle Company in White Plains, New York.
