Needlepoint Order Form
Please use the form below to place an online order for your kneeler(s).
Once you have submitted the form and your donation, please contact the artist, Anne Pennypacker, to discuss the Bible verse you would like, after which she will paint your canvas.
If you do not plan to stitch the kneeler yourself, you may ask the needlepoint guild to assign a stitcher. Please note that if you, or someone you designate, has not previously stitched a kneeler for St. Stephen's Church, the needlepoint guild will ask for a sample using a kit we will provide. All kneelers are stitched using the basketweave stitch, which pads and thickens the canvas for durability. All new stitchers must complete a sample form before beginning. We offer lessons and instructions for those who want to learn.
You may make your donation using our online giving platform (select needlepoint guild from the drop-down menu), or by mailing a check to St. Stephen's Church, 6000 Grove Ave., Richmond, Virginia 23226. Please make checks payable to St. Stephen's Church and be sure to indicate on the memo line that it is for a needlepoint kneeler.
(If you would prefer to fill in a paper form and mail it with a check, please download this PDF form.)
