"Needlepoint is a form of canvas work created on a mesh canvas."
While embroidery is: "the art or handicraft of decorating fabric or other materials with designs stitched in strands of thread or yarn using a needle."
Hope that helped! I'm not an expert on embroidery! :D
Yes, what a neat site. Jessica mentioned it on our blog a few weeks ago and I have visited many times since. I'm thinking of doing some redwork embroidery tea towels.
