Two by two, they marched aboard — giraffes, lions, monkeys and a whole zoo of cuteness! These cheerful Noah’s Ark needlepoint designs are a sweet reminder that there are plenty of little miracles, rain or shine! An adorable stitch for every age; these new needlepoint kits are smiles waiting to happen!

Noah’s Ark Birth Announcement Needlepoint Kit

Two by two, they came to say — a precious little one arrived today!
Welcome aboard, little miracle, your tiny hands will touch our hearts.
A delightful way to mark a brand-new beginning.

Everything one needs to know, can be learned from Noah’s Ark!
One: Don’t miss the boat.
Two: Remember we are all in the same boat.
Three: Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark.

Noah’s Ark Needlepoint Ornament Kit

Two by two, they came to stay — waiting for Santa on Christmas Day!
This cheerful Ark will bring animal charm and
a splash of whimsy to your holiday tree.

Four: Stay fit. When you’re 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
Five: Don’t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
Six: Build your future on high ground.

Noah’s Ark Stocking Needlepoint Kit

Two by two with holiday cheer, the Ark is full — Christmas is here!
Packed with playful critters and fun color,
this stocking will bring a boatload of festivity to your mantle.

Seven: It is always safer to travel in pairs.
Eight: Speed isn’t necessarily an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
Nine: The Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
(These nine helpful tips were compiled from anonymous authors.)
