Needlepoint By the Numbers
Posted: January 9, 2024 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 Comment
I am currently working on my second seat of my game table chairs. Each seat cover is 23 inches by 25 inches big. In needlepoint terms, that is massive.
I finished my first seat in August. I set a goal to finish the second one by New Years and missed my goal. I am now frantically stitching to try and finish as I am sick of just doing basket weave.
I calculated that this canvas has a stitched fire lid of 575 square inches. As I am doing it on 13 count canvas there are 169 stitches in each inch. Making the total number of individual stitches I must make at 97,175.
According to my measurements I have 31.5 square inches left to go or 5,323 stitches, all in white, technically a color called vapor, that looks white to you. I’m in the last 5% and that is the hardest part.
So no more time spent blogging. It’s back to stitching.
Note Tuesday Morning:
For some reason this did not post last night. Thanks to all the friends who checked on me this morning to see if I was still alive

Bless your heart. My baby sitter (MINE) taught me to needlepoint, but it’s been a while. Has been fun to read about your stitches, projects and needlepoint buddies.
Also, I was too sleepy from too much to send you kudos for your “political” blog recently. It helps that I agree 100% with all of it, but I just loved it on so many levels. Love your blog. Thank you!
