Needlepoint in the United Kingdom is often referred to as “tapestry” or “canvaswork”, that is, stitched by needlepoint on stiff open grid canvas mesh. When worked on fine weave canvas, it is also known as “Petitpoint”. Our needlepoint designs are hand crafted with only a basic and simple “tent stitch”, and rely on colour changes in the wool yarn to construct the pattern.
Our regular decorative needlepoint pillows have 132 stitches per square inch. Our Petit Point pillows have an incredible 576 stitches per square inch for even greater detail. Several of our pillows are a mix stitch of regular grosse point Needlepoint and Petit Point stitch. They are indeed a beautiful expression of hand artistry and timeless beauty.
Inspired by our design and superb craftsmanship of this needlepoint design, we were commissioned by a national gallery for an art exhibit of Claude Monet’s paintings. We are pleased to offer for sale decades later. Limited quantities in both pillow cushion covers and accessory.
This hand embroidered Eyeglass case consists of 144 tent stitches per square inch,
The design was so popular that personal accessories were created to complement. We have a beautiful “eyeglass carrying case.” A generous size 8″ is particularly unique with needlepoint work in gross point covering the entire case, embroidered front and back. A delightful addition for your glasses!
