Farm needlepoint patterns

The farm and the things on it, among them a barn, a white farmhouse, a stone well with its bucket, a scarecrow, a sheaf of wheat and a red tractor.

Several of the barns have cross-braced double doors, the farmhouse has a porch, and the scarecrow stands on a pole. The tractor is seen from the side or, in the folk art one, from the front, with tall black rear tires. One design is a toile scene of a shepherdess with two sheep; the farm's animals have a page of their own, Farm animals. Many are drawn in several styles, so the same barn is red on one page and blue and white on another. All are four inches square on 18 mesh; many can also be made as a Christmas stocking or as a round ornament.

Many are marked intermediate, and levels run from beginner to advanced. They take from four colors to fourteen, so look at the level and the thread list on the page before you choose.
