needlepoint
Decorative thread craft
Needlepoint is a form of embroidery worked on stiff, open-weave canvas using yarn and a blunt needle.
The stitches cover the entire canvas surface, creating decorative patterns or pictures: She worked on her needlepoint while watching television.
The term also describes the lace made by needle rather than bobbin, though this sense is less common in American usage.
