Grid Tapestry by Heddle and Needle, $175 at etsy.com

Textile art has experienced a major resurgence in 2014, gaining popularity at every scale from a seasoned pro like Sheila Hicks putting up three exhibitions to a proliferation of Etsy shops led by creative, driven artists around the country. One such shop belongs to Rachel Gottesman, who sells on Etsy under the moniker Heddle and Needle. We especially like the deep indigo hues of her fringed Grid Tapestry, which some might call "architect-y" in its symmetry. (Hint: Gottesman's tapestries aren't huge—most measure around 11 by 22 inches—so check out her Instagram to see them in situ.)
