"I have a passion for needlepoint. You could say,
' I'm addicted.' I love to share that passion with other needlepoint
addicts. Like most of you I've had a needle of some kind in my hands as
far back as I can remember. My designs are like my children and it's so
rewarding to find that many of you like my children.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
If you want to, put your info on my mailing list and I will notify you when new
designs are coming out.
Needlepoint: A type of embroidery in which the stitches are counted and worked with a
needle over the threads, or mesh, of a canvas foundation. It was known
as canvas work until the early 19th century. If the canvas has 16 or
more mesh holes per linear inch, the embroidery is called petit point;
most needlepoint was petit point in the 16th – 18th century.
Needlepoint as it is known today originated in the 17th century, when
the fashion for furniture upholstered with embroidered fabrics prompted
the development of a more durable material to serve as the embroidery's
foundation. Wool is generally used for needlepoint, silk yarn less
often. Needlepoint kits, containing canvas stamped with a design and
all the materials needed for the project, were sold as early as the
mid-18th century.
