Needlepoint Pillows in Traditional and Historic Settings

It's winter in Chilly Hollow, a time to snuggle up at home in front of a roaring fire and read about how needlepoint pillows decorate our homes throughout history.  Here is a bit about the current design trends and how they incorporate needlepoint, courtesy of Architectural Digest.  "Charm and elegance…"  not to mention needlepoint, "never go out of style."

Old House Online has a complimentary article about historical trends and the right textiles to pull off a period look.  Naturally we need needlepoint pillows for this!
