I’ve been thinking about charting this pillow design for a couple of weeks. Finally, tonight, I decided to sit down and do it. I hope you enjoy it.

Because the chart lines are hard to see, I’ll tell you the dimensions. The large red squares are 16×16 holes.  All of the small squares are 8×8 holes.  The yellow and red rectangles are 8×16 holes.

As far as the size of the finished pillow, it depends on the number of holes per inch of the canvas you use. To get the pillow dimensions you want, you may have to double the pattern.

Please leave me a message if you have any questions and I will try to answer them the best I can.

Lately, everywhere I look, I’ve been seeing wonderful sewing patterns for banners and bunting. Here is my needlepoint version of that great idea.

The finished needlepoint will be about 1 1/2 tall and can be used for gift tags, embellishing clothing, making jewelry, creating greeting cards or just about anything else your imagination can dream up.

Over the next couple of weeks I will be charting an alphabet to be used with the banner pattern.
