I love needlepoint on plastic canvas and have been doing this hobby for years. I would love to get some new ideas, patterns? Any suggestions?

Good luck. My mother does plastic canvas. On a rare occasion she finds patterns at some of the craft stores: Hobby Lobby and Michaels have a few sometimes. I have also been lucky at finding her patterns in book form at used book stores.
There are several sites online with free needlepoint (called tapestry over here in the UK) patterns, try this one for starters-the guide posts a lot of great info and patterns for plastic canvas, too, and she also posts links to other sources of free patterns on the 'Net:
Your local library is also a good source for free patterns, look for plastic canvas specific books, but also at needlepoint charts, and even cross-stitch for patterns and inspiration. I've used needlepoint and cross-stich charts for plastic canvas patterns for years:)
Try www.Freepatterns.com, or www.Allcrafts.net (click on free patterns)
www.everythingplasticcanvas.com has lots of very reasonably priced books, leaflets and supplies
www.anniesattic.com also sells some plastic canvas kits/supplies
