Things sweep across the Internet in waves, just as if God had turned on the neon light that said, "Discuss Color" and we all obeyed. This week I noticed a lot of postings about original needlepoint and its very personal meaning.
This artist is needlepointing book covers with motifs from the Jane Austen books. It is a very personal way to treat her favorite books. It looks as if the stitching is photographed, then turned into a paper jacket for the book. This is actually a great idea for a special gift to your family. Stitch a family portrait and make book jackets from the finished piece for each sibling or child.

This fashion writer is amused by and a bit jealous of a needlepoint belt a friend owns that his sister stitched to memorialize various important things in his life.

Finally, I think you'll be as touched as I was by Althea's story of the Frank Lloyd Wright piece she stitched for a friend.
