Needlework — pale quip (anag) (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

applique

(Other definitions for applique that I've seen before include "Decorative design made of one material sewn over another" , "Sewing of fabric pieces onto larger piece" , "Style of needlework" , "Ornamental work" , "Work stitched onto another material" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
