The NYT Spots NP at the Republican National Convention UPDATED

Eagle eyed readers of the New York Times spotted this puff piece on the Republican National Convention, which opened this week in Cleveland.

The shop involved is the Wool and the Willow Needlepoint.  Contact them if you need any Republican - or Democratic-themed canvas if your favorite shop doesn't have any in stock.

UPDATE:  The most popular canvas Wool and Willow is selling to the Republicans at the convention is probably from Edie and Ginger.  Their distributor is CBK so your favorite shop can order for you.  Many thanks to Leslie for posting about this on Facebook's Needlepoint Nation group.

UPDATE #2:  A glimpse of Wool and Willow's little booth inside the Republican convention floor has been posted on Facebook.

I've been using a bit of pink hair tape myself.
