Ehrman
Tapestry is a manufacturer and distributor of needlepoint kits
of exceptional quality, both design and materials. Ehrman kits
are worked almost exclusively in continental stitch (a few are
worked in random longstitch). The beauty of the finished
product relies on the elements of design and color. This is
commonly done in needlepoint but perhaps due to Ehrman’s
ability to attract excellent designers and therefore choose
from superior designs, Ehrman seems to do it better than most.
They
maintain 2 shops - one in London, U.K. and another in
Chestertown, Maryland. The kits are available
for purchase from both locations as well as various
needlepoint suppliers around the world. The company also
publishes a catalog and maintains a Website where you can view
the product line and place an order.
Marjorie
Adams runs the American branch of Ehrman Tapestry and the
Website. Marjorie is clearly the driving force behind bringing
this excellent product to the American market. In addition to
the product line and Website, she publishes a Newsletter
called Tapestry Tales, she sets up display/sales in different
U.S. cities, and starting in 1999 she has organized trips to
the U.K. with needlework themes.
Ehrman
Tapestry has published several books that are described in the
Book section. The books contain designs by Kaffe Fassett,
Elian McCready, Candace Bahouth, Margaret Murton and many
other excellent designers.
The Website contains
descriptions and photos of the product line, the designers,
directions to their London shop, a list of worldwide
distributors and a section called Events & News. Visit the
