needlepoints
Decorative thread craft
Needlepoints is the plural of needlepoint, a form of embroidery worked on canvas with yarn, typically using a single diagonal stitch to fill in a design.
The term also refers to finished works in this craft: Her grandmother's needlepoints hung throughout the house.
Needlepoint lace is a different technique, built entirely from thread without a fabric base.
