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.

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.

This book is better for someone that does cross-stitch. I think I came across two crochet patterns and the same for the knitted ones. The Miss Piggy crochet pattern did not look like Miss Piggy. I didn't like that the crochet patterns were for finger puppets. I'm glad I did not pay more than a .40 cents for the book.

Great price, great deal, great book. I haven't try yet any of the stuff that is on the book because right now I don't have enough time, but they don't look so difficult to elaborate.
