Games and dice needlepoint patterns

Games, among them dice, playing cards, a backgammon board, mahjong tiles, a dartboard, puzzle pieces, a game controller, an eight ball and badminton.

There are also a checkerboard and a diamond check, both repeating patterns, an archery target on three legs and a croquet design of two crossed mallets over a wicket and five balls. Badminton is two racquets crossed behind a shuttlecock, or in the retro one the shuttlecock alone. The checkerboard, the diamond check and the round eight ball take two colors and are marked beginner; the other designs all take more. Most are four inches square on 18 mesh, and each page gives its level and its thread list.
