Face Behind the Canvas

Nice to meet you and welcome to Detmer Designs!

Born and raised in St. Louis, Meryl brings unique, hand-painted needlepoint designs to the modern stitcher. Now based in Washington, DC, she continues to craft canvases that reflect the places, passions, and personal connections that inspire her.

Meryl’s signature fleur-de-lis logo is more than just a design—it’s a homage to her St. Louis roots, woven into every stitch of her work. Whether it’s oysters from the coast, the vibrance of Florida, simples charms of farm life or a custom piece designed just for you, Detmer Designs offers an array of canvases that celebrate landscapes, traditions, and cherished moments. Each canvas tells a story—one that Meryl paints and you create, thread by thread.

Through her passion for needlepoint, Meryl invites stitchers of all levels to create something meaningful, transforming each canvas into a cherished treasure—woven with memories and love.

Happy Stitching! 🪡
