Needlepoint has been in existence for thousands of years - dating back to the Egyptians. Read more about the History of Needlepoint below :
A hobby for many - an art form for others - a profession and an industry - all surround the word Needlepoint.
Relaxing at times - as well as absorbing - this art medium attracts many - to pull away from the modern tendencies of hi-tech - quick satisfactions - that often only create a certain blindness of the senses.
People are "re-discovering" the enjoyment of the meaning of slow.
Yes - the term "slow" is becoming as lost as the term - morality - these days.
Needlepoint is a slow process - involving a great deal of introspection - planning and amazing delight - when viewing the results - which very slowly appear after many hours - weeks - months and longer of dedication.

Attention to minute detail is accentuated - awareness of color - blending and light are taken to heights - and - quickly - your world moves into a new dimension - your senses become enhanced again.
You have lost that anxiety from the modern day need-for-speed -- to realize the beauty and results of patience.
Suddenly - an enriched vocabulary swirls in your mind. Words are now used to describe a renovated intense discovery of colors - the good old dark red - becomes a refined - "deep burgundy".
A myriad of names - - eggplant - describes another color -- maize - paprika - terra cotta ... you begin to cringed when hearing "pink" - - no - you think - it is more of a slightly burnt damask rose ... a new refined syntax emerges beyond the numbness from the Pantone - RGB and CMYK limits.
