The art of needlepoint shall always renvent itself. It’s stitches are timeless and because of this it has weathered the age of time . Designer threads have added to it’s enhancements. Susan Portra Jean, Hilton and Orna Willis has has made the art of needlepoint cutting edge. What is there not to enjoy ?

I love Melissa Shirley’s Halloween Town. Her designs are so clever. I’d rather stitch on 18 count than larger canvases, even if it takes longer. I am starting to collect Mindy canvases. Again, they are small, clever, and modern in design. As far as thread goes, it’s Rainbow Gallery. I can always find something to use. I collected a HUGE stash from Ebay in the late ’90s.

I would have to say that I love almost everything about needlepoint. Not to get too philisophical about it, but I love the fact that needlepoint is something that is/can be passed from generation to generation. I love the community that is formed by like-minded needlepointers. I love the designers who toil away creating designs and canvases that we just can’t live without. And I especially love the “teachers” who so generously give of their time writing stitch guides, teaching classes, showing a stitch, and sharing their passion for all things needlepoint with us. Thanks, Janet for being in this category!
