Martha Stewart Profiles Needlepoint Designers

This article from Martha Stewart online profiles needle artists, including Lycette Designs, Ulla Stina Wikander who puts vintage canvases on top of various objects, Aurelia Jaubert who does tapestries as art, and Eva Howard Designs.  Note that many of the people called needlepointers are actually embroiderers.  It annoys me when folks don't bother to get the terms right.  Am I just being cranky?

Cooper Oaks, Zecca, and Ewe and Eye are also good places to look for that perfect funny saying.

UPDATE:  Crude Needlepoint on Etsy has a lot of crude canvases.  Note that many are copyright or trademark violations.  So far the owners of this art haven't noticed.
