Ooooohhhh, I'm so excited...and I just can't hide it...I'm about to lose control and I think I like it, oh yea.... :!: :!: :!: :!: :wink:
Needlepoint is one form of needlework. Needlework just refers to anything done with a needle. So embroidery / quilting/ crossstitch/ etc are all needlework. It is just a generic word to cover all of the ways to create with a needle and thread.
I'm not real crazy about needlepoint done on plastic canvas. I love the swedish forms of embroidery they are really pretty. I don't really have one favorite over another beyond quilting being my passion in life!
