This is pretty much what needlepoint was like when I taught myself how to needlepoint in 1988.
Flashback!!
Sadly, this is also pretty much what folks who don't stitch think needlepoint is like today. By the way, Brini Maxwell is a vintage style specialist on New York City cable TV and now on the Style Network. She also sells pillows but they are fabric, not needlepoint.

Hi Jane. I've been a fan of Brini Maxwell for years. So glad you brought "her" to the attention of the needlepoint blog world. Wasn't that Camel cute, too. Thanks, Robin
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of her, Robin. After all, Chilly Hollow isn't fashionable the way Memphis is! The camel was darling. A lot of the designs on the program are classics that folks would love stitching today. It's just that the NP world is so much broader now than it used to be. We're not period pieces.
