Thanks to designers and celebrities (Taylor Swift is a fan), needlepoint is the hobby of the moment. We've been seeing it everywhere! In shops, online, in fashion...and we love it. Both of us Blackbirds have fond memories of doing plastic canvas needlepoint when we were younger, and I've been collecting vintage needlepoint books for years, in hopes of one day having the time to actually make some throw pillows or seat covers. It's hard to find, but we do buy good Mid Century needlepoint when we find it.
Even Bergdorf's 2014 Holiday Windows gave a nod to needlepoint with this red beauty:
We saw this recently on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (one of our guilty pleasures -- along with all of the other RH franchises!):

Jonathan Adler's been on the needlepoint bandwagon for years. His Jackie O pillow is one of my faves:

Or wear a jacket that looks like needlepoint (it's really made from a fabric called grospoint, which has a needlepoint look):
