Needlepoint Crafts In The News: October 17, 2008

Posted under needlepoint crafts

I found an interesting news article that I wanted to share. Look at this needlepoint work, beautifully done, it’s tabloid newspaper front pages. “Just the kind of thing you’d expect a Warhol superstar to craft up: NY Post and Daily News needlepoint pillows! (Just like grandma used to make.) Brigid Berlin is opening her homespun exhibit at John McWhinnie and Glenn Horowitz Bookseller/Gallery later this month, and Animal reports that “the sixty-nine year old artist is showcasing 10 years of her fantastic embroidery works, including this ‘Breaking News’ series of New York Post pillows that feature some of the rag’s most salacious headlines and crude front covers.” She’s even got the Keith Richards “I Snorted My Dad” cover in there!” Take a minute and appreciate the very interesting and creative work that she has done.

We have made some cool additions and upgrades to the commenting system here on The Needlepoint Canvas. When you register and comment on posts and news items often there are some nice benefits.

1. We have installed the CommentLuv plug-in which displays your latest blog post beneath your comment. If you leave a comment, other readers might click on your latest blog’s post link and visit your blog. Pretty cool?
2. We have installed the NoFollow Free Plug-in. If you leave more than 5 comments here, the nofollow tag is removed and you will get a backlink to your site.
