Finding a Guide for Your Charley Harper Canvas

Those wonderful Charley Harper canvases (currently distributed by The Meredith Collection) have stitch guides written by a lot of people.   Do a search using the search box in the upper left corner to help find if your canvas has a guide.

Then head to Robin King's blog and check her list of guides available for Charley's work.  She's done more guides for his things than anyone else.  This list was updated June 2019, so also do a search on the home page of Robin's blog to see if new items have been added to her inventory.
http://needlepointstudyhall.blogspot.com/p/stitch-guides-by-robin-king.html

After that, check Tony Minieri's site, look at Bedecked and Beadazzled, then ask Terry Christopher Castillo, Sherry Bray, or Julia Snyder if they did a guide for your canvas.
