This week I came across two delightful needlepoint patterns.
The first is a Flickr gallery of patterns from an antique needlepoint book.
These books are old, out of copyright, and fantastic sources of needlepoint charts. I particularly like their border ideas.
The second is a Halloween (I know it’s a little late) set from Laura Perin of a bat and a cat. They are at the top of her Free Patterns page. They are made from Scotch Stitches and are just adorable. If you wanted a Christmas cat, just change the colors of the borders to Christmas colors and get a great design. I like that idea so much I think I’ll do that.
Happy stitching!

I have a question….I started counted cross stitch but found needlepoint more exciting. Is there any way that I can convert a counted cross stitch pattern to a needlepoint pattern?
Yes, it’s pretty easy to convert cross stitch to needlepoint. I’ll add a blog post about it later today so I can put in pictures.
Keep Stitching,
Janet
