Needlepoint and Hand Painted Threads by Connie Pickering Stover

I can’t remember a time that I didn’t love to have a needle in my hands. Although I’ve played in many textile mediums I found that the challenges of overcoming the predictable structure of the needlepoint canvas allowed me to tell my stories best. I love to explore the “outer edges” of canvas and keep experimenting and pushing my ideas outside the canvas’ structure.

When I look up from my work I discover that my stitches did not confine themselves to the grid – they had found their freedom!
