One shop we can confirm, Homestead Needle Arts on Holly Road in Grand Blanc, about seven and a half miles southeast of downtown Flint.

For Flint and Grand Blanc, the needlepoint shop we can confirm is Homestead Needle Arts, in the Grand Ridge Galleria on Holly Road in Grand Blanc. It is about a mile south of downtown Grand Blanc and about seven and a half miles southeast of downtown Flint, and it has traded for more than forty years, by its own account, with painted canvases, trunk shows, classes, and a wide stock of threads.

The hours are the thing to plan around

Homestead Needle Arts opens four days a week, from 10am to 4pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. It is closed on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays. Check its hours page before you go: it posts closures there, as it did for private classes in early September 2026.

Before you go

• Call ahead. The shop's number is (810) 694-3040.
• Sign up early for the Wednesday class. The class runs from 2pm to 3:30pm each Wednesday for $15, with help on any project you bring. Seats are limited, and you have to sign up and pay at least a week ahead.
• Look for the bagel shop. Homestead Needle Arts is next to Big Apple Bagels in the Grand Ridge Galleria, across from the Trillium Cinema.
• Bring the canvas if you have one. Thread and mesh have to be matched to the specific canvas, and nobody can do that from a photograph. See our thread guide for what that pairing involves.

FAQ

Is there a needlepoint shop in Fenton or Holly?

Not one we have been able to confirm. Homestead Needle Arts is about nine miles northeast of the middle of Fenton and about eight miles north of the middle of Holly.

What about Lapeer, Saginaw, or Lansing?

We have not confirmed a shop in any of them. Homestead Needle Arts is about eighteen miles southwest of the middle of Lapeer, about thirty-nine miles southeast of the middle of Saginaw, and about forty-nine miles east of the middle of Lansing.

Can I learn here as a beginner?

Call the shop to ask. Its Wednesday class is help with a project you bring, which Theresa's site calls an informal way to ease back into needlepoint if you have been away. The site lists no class for people who have never stitched.

Can I get a finished piece made up?

Yes. The shop works with several finishers and takes your card details when you drop a piece off, charging you when the finished work comes back. Read our finishing guide first so you know what to ask.

Can I return a canvas or thread?

No. Its policies say there are no returns on canvases, charts, or threads, and none on special orders unless the item is defective.
