Souvenir Needlepoint Canvases

When we travel, we all love finding a new needlepoint shop and picking up a little souvenir of our trip.  But sometimes that just isn't possible.  There is no shop, there is no time, there just wasn't anything in the shop that evoked the trip.  Janet Perry to the rescue!  She's written up a list of designers who do what she calls "destination" needlepoint--painted canvases of a state, a region or just icons of that section of America.  This makes it easy to find a canvas to remind you always of that trip you took, or the one you always wanted to take.
