Free Needlepoint Charts for Week 20 Needlepoint Resolutions Challenge
The patriotic spirit was rampant throughout most of Week 20 of the 365 Needlepoint Resolutions Challenge with Day 136 to Day 139 focused on Memorial Day needlepoint projects. A couple of wacky holidays were thrown in for good measure to keep your stitching fingers supple. Here are a few highlights from the week.
Just imagine a crowd of people dancing like a chicken and you’ll be in the spirit to needlepoint this free chart for one of the wackiest holidays of the year, “Dance like a Chicken Day”.

Although this needlepoint chart was designed for the unique holiday; it can be stitched all year long for special friends who love to ride a bike to work or everywhere else! Other needlepoint motifs can be added to this one to create an entirely new design. For example, add some clouds and sun, a few hills and trees to make the needlepoint design come alive. The 3.57-inch square pattern can be attached to or mounted in just about any pre-finished home decor item.More »
Plastic canvas is the best ground fabric for this whimsical patriotic needlepoint design. Scrap drab and tan colored threads would be ideal for stitching the 4-inch square needlepoint pattern. Stay away for using any textured stitches or specialty threads; a smooth matte finish is in order for this piece of needlework. Once all the stitching is completed, simply cut around the design leaving one plastic canvas mesh visible; and then whip-stitch to finish into a decorative item.More »
