Next time I want to try something new in the crafty world I think I might go for needlepoint. I have a giant book of needlecraft that has the basics of knitting, crochet, embroidery, quilting, needlepoint and applique. Some of the basic designs in the needlepoint section looked cool but I didn't think much about them. My interest has been growing though as I come across more and more of these pieces (these two are from Jake's relative's home). I love the bright farms and floral patterns the best.
Hopefully I'll have some time to try it out after all the Christmas shenanigans have passed. They look like they take awhile to finish but I think I'm up for it. Now, does anyone know where to find cool needlepoint patterns?
that first needlepoint is AMAZING! i have one i still need to do and it has been a year since i bought it! maybe when i am done with my books i will bring it on the train!
