Small treasures from Gerda Bengtsson,
By SciFi Lover (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Danish Floral Charted Designs (Dover Embroidery, Needlepoint) (Paperback)
This book of exquisite small projects is just right for the counted cross stitcher who wants to create something for the person who has everything. The designs are small and need to be enlarged on a copier before they can be used (I enlarged at 159 percent). Most designs are square, about 65 stitches in each direction. Three or four designs grouped in the same frame would make a nice presentation. Thread colors for both DMC and Danish Flower Thread are given.

This is a "class"!,
By Miyako Okada (Kanagawa, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Danish Floral Charted Designs (Dover Embroidery, Needlepoint) (Paperback)
This book is very reasonable, yet contains about 45 charts mostly wild flowers and berries. If you like simple scandinavian designs, you must love this. I recommend to stitch them on linen using danish flower thread to make your piece more elegant. I stitched a rosehip design on natural linen and turned out to be a beautiful pin-cushion.

Tiny and exquisite,
By Diane Maennle (Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Danish Floral Charted Designs (Dover Embroidery, Needlepoint) (Paperback)
Gerda Bengtsson is Denmark's greatest fiber-artist and created more than 1000 designs. She achieves the essence of botanicals using just a few, well-placed stitches. Most of her botanicals are large, stunning pieces. This is a collection of tiny, exquisite plants. (No, you won't find anything cute in here; no teddybears or santas). Over the past thirty years, I have made many of these, framed them for my home or given them as gifts. They are best when stitched on pure linen with Danish Flower Thread. [Still available from the Haandarbejdets Fremme] I was delighted to see this gem of a book for sale and bought up 5 copies! Mine is so worn!
