Back in the 80s I used to do charting for Needlepoint News. One of the big projects I did was Jim Williams' Gardener's Alphabet Rug. All 26 letters, each with a flower starting with that letter. Each was a square of a rug.
Recently, I got in touch with Williams and he gave me permission to redo the charts on the computer, color coded to DMC (instead of Paternayan), for 18-count, and to offer the designs for sale on my website. Each letter will be a separate pattern. (I'm not doing it as a rug.) This is counted, so it is suitable for cross stitch as well as needlepoint.
Well, this turned out to be quite a big job, but it is nearly finished. I have an army of stitchers piloting for me and I hope to have all of the letters ready and up on my website by the end of October. When they are ready, I'll announce it here on blog.
This H is one that I did on 20-count canvas with DMC floss and a few stitches of Kreinik.

A New Freebie

Surprise! I have finally figured out, successfully, how to add another Free Design to my website. It is a Small Bargello Alphabet that is suitable for signing your Bargello stitcheries. Please go to my website & click on the design for a free .pdf download: http://www.lizartneedlepoint.com/
It is underneath the mouse design.
