Needlepoint Design
Brown Line
In Other Words

Words and letters long have been needlework favorites.

Monograms and initials, names of people and places, foreign and domestic, and elegant characters of Eastern writing systems - all can be the subject of samplers and gracefully graphical panels for needlepointing.

On the CHARACTERS page you will find needlepoint monograms and letters. See also the samplers associated with Christmas.

The NEW YORK and TEXAS samplers were originally commissioned for needlepoint classes.

All are offered by Rishfeld Designs unless noted.
