Handiwork

by grandmaR - last update: May 7, 2003

Needlepoint

First needlepoint I designed
When I got into needlepoint, I started designing my own. This was the first design I did of my own and it is on size 17 canvas - a bit smaller than usual, but not petit point.

Needlepoint footstool - my husband's 1932 PB Plymouth four door sedan - 3 views. Also the Flying Lady and the grille emblem.
Needlepoint sampler

Sampler

I was using Erica Wilson's needlepoint book, and this is my interpretation of a needlepoint sampler from her book. (another footstool)
Needlepoint picture from a kit

Scene from a Kit

This was a scene done from a kit that I gave to my mother-in-law for Christmas. I've just sold it on eBay for $10.00
Crewel design Needlepoint chairback

Another Sampler

This is another sampler type needlepoint - this one is a chair back and I did a crewel type design and used various different stitches to get the different textures.

Blackwork

I did this picture in black and gold thread from a kit. It was called blackwork.
Crewel embroidery from a pillow kit
