Needlepoint Works



These are photos of some of my needlepoint work over the years. I took close-ups of small sections to show the different stitch work used ( mainly basketweave). Mixed Media Monday's theme this week is "Stitches".

    Lori, I SO admire needlework of any kind. I just look at yarn, embroidery floss, thread, etc. and it magically ensnares itself in tangles and knots! Stunning work. Thanks for sharing! Hugs, Terri

    I experimented with needlepoint just long enough to know it isn't for me! I admire anyone who has the patience to create it. These pieces are lovely, Lori. Well done!

    Lori, you have the patience of a saint and these are beautiful!

    I ruined my eyes stiching an Indian Chief at midnight on a mountain, on navy blue Aida (18 pi) and haven't stitched since, unless I get the machine out! It took me a year and I still haven't forgiven DH for buying it for his birthday pressie... although it IS a stunner!!

    You are a woman of so many talents Lori! I've been wanting to try needlepoint for years but I'm not sure I'd have the patience to finish! These are lovely, thanks for sharing them with us x

    I can't even begin to imagine making so many stitches to make a piece of art. Your work is wonderful and I am full of admiration for your patience. Fantastic, Lori.
