His funny and charming art has been put on needlepoint canvas for us to enjoy by Maggie.

Rest in Peace, Frank.  We love what you did.

UPDATE:  Kreinik says goodbye with thanks.

Looks like it works well for those who are traveling with their needlepoint.  Plan ahead for when we can do that again and order carefully as the price is all over the map.
