Needlepoints

History:Historians know that needlepoint probably came to be as an art form in Ancient Egypt and other early advanced civilizations.  Elaborately embroidered garments were a reflection of the wearer's wealth and social status.  Western European examples from the middle ages still exist.  Many museums house examples of purses, pin cushions, table covers and hangings from the British Elizabethan era.  Some needlepoint themes were taken from flowers, nature, animals, birds and biblical characters.

In the 16th century a form of needlepoint called, "turkey work" was first introduced.  This form of needlepoint was commonly used for cushion covers.  Turkey work involved the pulling of two strands through the canvas.  The strands were knotted and cut short thus, creating a pile-like finish.  This resembled a carpet or rug.
