needlepointer
Decorative stitch crafter
A needlepointer is someone who does needlepoint—a form of embroidery on canvas using yarn or thread to create decorative patterns.
The term appears in craft communities and hobby contexts: She's been a needlepointer for thirty years.
Like many hobby-based agent nouns, it sounds slightly awkward but serves when needed.
