I am sure YouTube&nbsp; has something.<\/p>\n<p>The kit came with the pattern painted (or printed) on canvas. It also came with a lot of yarn. With cross stitch, I would make a card with holes and labeled with the numbers of the yarn. I would loop the yarns through the holes and have everything well organized. I don&#8217;t know if I should do that as I don&#8217;t have a chart that tells me which colors go where. I just have the canvas. I think I need to get some advice from someone who does needlepoint.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_62999\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62999\" style=\"width: 295px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240624_112331_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-62999\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240624_112331_wm-sm-295x300.jpg\" alt=\"Love for my Garden Cushion kit - back\" width=\"295\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240624_112331_wm-sm-295x300.jpg 295w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240624_112331_wm-sm-768x781.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240624_112331_wm-sm.jpg 802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 295px) 85vw, 295px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-62999\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Love for my Garden Cushion kit &#8211; back<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I have all of the yarn.
