Needlepoint Crafts In The News: October 17, 2008

Welcome back to NeedlepointQueen.com! Head to the Blog to catch up on some news or spend some time browsing our new Store! Thank you for visiting again.

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.

    Those are just awesome! I’d be proud to display something like that in my home. There are tons of possibilities and ways those could be personalized.

    Great idea by Brigid. But, all the canvases were actually painted by Woolworks Needlepoint NYC. They were then stitched by Candace and Bob.

  3. andrea says:

    Brigid did not paint or stitch any of these. They were designed by Woolworks NYC, and stitched by people Brigid hired. Woolworks has been designing Brigid’s needlepoint for over 15 years. It is an outrageous lie. She is even taking credit for many of our proprietary designs.

    Those are really cool! The attention to detail is amazing. I don’t know that I would want them as a throw pillow, but they are definitely very nice.

    I like your site layout by the way.
