The Point! Needlepoint

March 18, 2012

I was watching a documentary about Harry Nilsson last night and had totally forgotten that the album cover to The Point! was actually worked in needlepoint. This was 1971 after all, and it has that earthy, comforting look that resonates with me (and most anyone) who was kid in the 70's.

Information online says the piece was worked by Kathy Torrence -I wonder where it is today?

UPDATE: See the comments!

Harry who? Well, maybe you know this song? No? How about this one? What about this one? Here's my favorite song of his. (sorry Canada -I'm throwing out Spotify links here).

I still have an incredible needlepoint hanging in my office (2017) painted by Kathy Torrence in the early 1970’s. She did several canvases for me. I think about her often.

Kathy Torrence is Dean Torrence’s sister who designed the original Point! sleeve (and Nilsson Sings Newman cover art). He was also one part of 60s group Jan & Dean.

PORTRAIT - Sublime Embroidery Floss Palette

Gasp!

You won't find these colors anywhere else. They are captivating! You can only appreciate "Eyeliner" when you have it in your hand. Send PORTRAIT to anyone who loves embroidery floss and they will be floating for days. Is this the 8th review I've written? Lol.

Game Changer

This product makes hand embroidery on knit fabric so much easier! I’m still getting the hang of the tear away once I’m finished, so I’m taking away one star. Otherwise, great!

Adorable!

I brought these adorable little scissors as a hostess gift for a stitching friend. The size is so handy and they work well. Could they be any cuter?! She loved them.

Transfer Pens

I couldn't live without these pens! No blotches or smearing, and nice thin lines. Easily covered with stitching. So much faster. I can make a lot of copies before I run out of ink. Love them!

This is my favorite website!

Sublime Stitching is exactly as advertised - Sublime! The site has a happy atmosphere combined with an intuitive ordering platform. Easy peasy to get exactly what you want. And fast. When you want to embroider something, you don’t want to wait around for ages for the transfers to arrive. So, I love the instant PDFs that are emailed to me. But when I want an actual transfer, it arrives quickly in the mail. No compromises here. Can’t go wrong with Sublime Stitching!
