Question
I have 8 Duncan Phyfe dining room chairs that I want to needlepoint cushions for.  I want an old fashioned floral design.  Can you help me?  Where can I get a canvas like that?  I can work from a graph and would prefer to do it that way as the 8 chairs will be expensive to purchase painted canvases for.

Answer
HI Frances,
I did a quick google for "needlepoint supplies" and got a lot of hits back of where one can purchase materials.

here is the link to that search

as to charts, you can use cross stitch charts.  There is so much out there you just need to search for what suits you.
