Needlepoint Patterns Free Directory

Kids and Needlepoint

A Needlepoint Patterns Free Directory has patterns designed for kids to make and for you to make for kids.

There is so much joy in introducing children to the joy of needlework. So many people I know first learned to stitch from a mother or grandmother.

Share your joy in stitching by making something for a child or by encouraging children to try needlepoint.
