How to Do Needlepoint

Beginning Needlepoint, that’s where I stood when I saw the kit in a magazine. It was September 1970, just before I turned 14. My parents bought the needlepoint kit for me, and my grandmother showed me how to make the stitch.

That’s it!

I was off and running and you can be too — just about that fast.
