5.0 out of 5 stars Superb - bringing storybook characters to life, October 16, 2006

This review is from: Erica Wilsons Childrens World (Hardcover)

I liked this book so much that I uploaded the back cover to match the front. There is no cheshire cat in this book, I guess the other reviewer was thinking of another. The topics are Beatrix Potter, the Muppets (in crochet and knitting), Barbar by Jean de Brunhoff, Winnie the Pooh on the cover and the Wind and the Willows, Kate Greenaway and the Sun and Water Bonnet Babies.

Ms Wilson tells you how to enlarge, block and transfer these gems and here's a real treat....many of Beatrix Potter's are given in stencils for walls or as she has for appliqueing a quilt (yes she discusses how to paint the fabric). This book is a gem.

3.0 out of 5 stars a delightful Christmas book, full of inspiration, October 10, 1998

This review is from: Erica Wilson's Christmas World (Hardcover)

This now out of print book is a delight. The designs, which feature a variety of needle work techniques, are classic. The "chelsea" cat embroidered ornament is only one of several animal motifs worthy of reproduction. I would highly recommend this book even though it may be difficult to acquire. Erica Wilson never disappoints needle workers with her love and passion for the needle and her designs are classic and inspired.

A charming old book, filled with patterns for cross-stitch, embroidery, knitting and crochet. Great resource for patterns for "characters" like the muppets, winnie-the-pooh and holly hobbie.
