My grandmother used to have a brick doorstop that was covered in needlepoint. In the summer, they kept all of the doors propped open to get a breeze through the house, and every door had some sort of doorstop since breezes can also lead to slamming doors.
While I love the look of the needlepoint versions, this one worked up much faster. The instructions and template were found here. I used woven strips of fabric since I had a jellyroll in my stash. It doesn’t really match the colors in my house, but the fabrics are fun.

This is genius!
I think these were used a lot more in “the olden days”, but they are really are the perfect size for the job.
Love it. My Grandparents still use one covered in needle point. It’s avocado green with flowers.
My grandparent’s was avocado with a pink rose. Must have been the color scheme back then.
I wonder if they came as needle point kits
