Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the latest happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we share an inside look into Rudy Saunders’ needlepoint ornament collection, The Sil Shop’s upcoming Aspen pop-up, and a look at some of our favorite Instagram accounts to follow this holiday season. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
A Very Needlepoint Christmas With Rudy Saunders
Interior designer Rudy Saunders never ceases to amaze with his talents. The New York based designer and resident Upper East Sider has an old-style edge, endless creativity, and beaming smile that has taken the “grandmillenial” scene by storm. And I do not just say this because he is one of my greatest friends!
Decorating aside, Saunders has become the poster boy for all things needlepoint. Starting as a child along with his mother’s guidance, he has forayed his pastime into an ever blossoming collection of needlepoint canvases and has garnered a hefty following of needlepointers who look to him for inspiration.
With Christmas just days away, we have an inside look for into Saunders’ needlepointed ornament collection. Each year Saunders’ adorns his tree in exclusively needlepointed ornaments hand done by Saunders’ himself. The tree totals an astounding 112 ornaments with 28 new additions this year alone. Take a look!
