Free charts: Color square in cross-stitch or needlepoint

February 22, 2010 by Denise Felton Leave a Comment

Last Friday, Charlie of Happy Threads shared this bright, cheerful cross-stitch pattern. She said, “[It] is really an experiment.  It’s a color square instead of a color wheel.  It’s actually my interpretation of the color wheel.  It’s a bit of fun and could look quite nice once it is stitched.”

Over the weekend,  Charlie says, a reader “suggested the color wheel I had designed as a cross stitch could be stitched into a a cross stitch pillow if you had enough patience. I think you would also need an awful lot of time as well.   I have therefore taken the cross stitch design and translated it into a needlepoint pillow top.  I think the result is quite stunning and should only take half the time.”

What a great idea! Get the cross-stitch chart. Or get the needlepoint-pillow chart.
