Needlepoint - Famous Paintings
barbo...@delphi.com
needlepoint canvas? I completed to large pieces, Renoir - two
girls at the piano and another Renoir - party, girl and dog at
table.
I stiched them in Persian yarn. One is now 15 years old. Back
then is cost me over $500 to complete one including frames. I
want to do more and believe canvases can be ordered somewhere.
The originals came from France.
Appreciate any help.

Those sound beautiful!
I have a book called:
Glorafilia "The Impressionists in Needlepoint"
by Carole Lazarus and Jennifer Berman
it has the following patterns:
Spring Flowers by Renoir
The Seine at Marly by Piassarro
Misty Morning by Sisley
Paris, A rainy Day be Caillebotte
Snowscene by Monet
The Posy of Violets (no credits)
Fans by Manet
Apples and Oranges by Cezanne
Textiles
Abstracts
Strawberries by Renoir
Wisteria from Monet's Giverny
The Cup of Tea by cassatt
Irises by Van Gogh
Waterlilies by Monet
Peonies by Monet
The yellow Hat by Renoir
Woman in her Bath by Degas
Cancer Rehearsing by Degas
Lady at her Toilette by Morisot
Child on a Stool by Morisot
The charts are in full color, with high quality
pictures of the painting on which the pattern is
based, some brief historical background, and
working instructions.
I haven't had a chance to work any of the patterns
yet (more things on my "to do" list!).
