	Art needlework - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Art needlework was a type of surface embroidery popular in the later nineteenth century under the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites and the Arts and Crafts Movement.
		Art needlework emphasized delicate shading in satin stitch with silk thread accompanied by a number of novelty stitches, in sharp contrast with the counted-thread technique of the brightly colored Berlin wool work needlepoint craze of the mid-nineteenth century.
		Art needlework was introduced to America at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia.

	May Morris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Morris himself is credited with the resurrection of free-form embroidery in the style which would be termed art needlework.
		Art needlework emphasized freehand stitching and delicate shading in silk thread, and was thought to encourage self-expression in the needleworker; this contrasted sharply with the brightly coloured Berlin wool work needlepoint and its "paint by numbers" aesthetic which had gripped much of home embroidery in the mid-nineteenth century.
		May Morris was active in the Royal School of Art Needlework (now Royal School of Needlework), founded as a charity in 1872 under the patronage of Princess Helena to maintain and develop the art of needlework through structured apprenticeships.

	Boise Weekly - Not Your Everyday Newspaper: Arts: Visual Art: Subversive Needlework
		Winner of the Seattle Art Museum's Betty Bowen Special Recognition Award in 2001, Bjarnadottir is a textile artist whose pieces are grounded in Iceland's traditions of knitting, embroidering and crocheting.
		Permeating her art on a more basic level, however, is a very personal, positive, non-ideological sort of feminism, one that reflects a background dominated by the society and culture of women rather than a political stance.
		Her art is edgy but not pushy, maintaining instead a low profile, lying in wait to challenge your mind and eye.

		The original purpose of the Purnell Museum was to house folk-art needlework wrought by Julia A. Purnell, an artist from Snow Hill.

		In centuries past, young girls were routinely taught to create numerous kinds of stitches and needlework; the samplers, laces, quilts and clothing they produced were meant to prepare them for a life of work in the home.
