> Count me in, Sue! I'm just getting over a really bad cold. I took to
my bed for about a week, and I've almost completed a needlepoint pillow
(really complicated design) while resting in bed. It kept me from going
completely crazy during the week.

that would be great! I'd especially be interested in any "iron on"
patterns, if they exist, as the canvases I've been buying are
embarrassingly expensive.

I find pictures that I like and use tracing paper [or draw freehand] to
transfer to canvas. Easy for small pictures. harder for rugs. I make
bargello pillows or jackets with my leftover wool. Bargello requires no
printed pattern.
Wait! Here's a computer question: Can you scan a picture you like and
print it on canvas using an injet printer set to low res so it doesn't
bleed through? If you can put CDs/DVDs in special inkjet printers, why
not needlepoint canvas? [except for size]
