Needlepoint designs celebrating the joy of time near the water.

Each Harper Noel canvas starts as a sketch inspired by the summer feeling. All designs are hand painted and ready to stitch for collectors of timeless design.

Meet the Artist


Kate Caputo

A woman wearing green sunglasses and a pink long-sleeve shirt sitting on a porch, hugging a curly-coated gray dog with a fluffy black face.

Kate Caputo has been designing and stitching needlepoint for years – first for customers of In Stitches, the needlepoint shop she owned with her mother, Janet, and later when they owned and operated the wholesale line, Silver Needle. After a taking a break from designing, Kate is launching her own wholesale line, Harper Noel Designs.

Her designs began as an ode to her favorite place during her favorite time of year: Cape Cod in the summer. As her line has grown, her designs have expanded beyond the shores of the Cape to beaches everywhere for that endless summer feeling.

Colorful abstract digital art with swirling patterns and vibrant colors.

Every design begins as a simple drawing, inspired by the feeling of summer and the details that make it memorable.

From Sketch to Stich

Hand writing on a square paper with colorful pens, surrounded by a laptop, a mouse, and a collection of colorful thread skeins on a white desk.

Each canvas is designed so every thread lands exactly where it should. No guesswork. Just stitching.

Sketch

Craft project with a paper that says 'sea salt sun' in colorful letters, art supplies including paints, brushes, and a palette, and a woven keychain or tassel on a white table.

Every canvas is thoughtfully hand-painted, guiding each stitch with clarity and ease. The result is a seamless stitching experience from start to finish.

Paint

Colorful embroidery floss arranged in a circle on a cross-stitch fabric with the words "sea, salt, sun" stitched in colorful letters. A pair of small scissors and embroidery floss are also on the fabric, all on a multicolored, coral-themed tablecloth.

Created for the simple pleasure of stitching and the lasting beauty of the finished piece. Designed to be enjoyed in the making and long after.
