Question
I have a pattern of pansies that I want to needlepoint but it ws originally for cross stitching.  Can it be converted to needlepoint and if so, how?

If it cannot, do you know a website where I can get a free pattern of pansies?  Its my favorite flower and I would love to do a piece.  Thanks!

Answer
Hi anna
to convert it, you can either count stitches, using one stitch for one stitch, or get permanent markers and mark up the canvas.

I would suggest you do a search for x-stitch flowers and check the sites out for pansies.
