Clearly and concisely written, no confusion or contradictions like some other books on the same subject. Excellent section on contributing artists showing a wide diversity of styles.

The artist does a good job covering all the needed supplies and methods to create such beautiful floor cloths. There is a lot covered in these pages, although I could have skipped the color theory part given its really trial and error and personal design ultimately. There are lots of beautiful floor cloths to admire by this artist and others. Wish there were some substantial patterns to apply in addition to the very basic stripes included. This book helps motivate one to begin and do it right, and the rest is really up to one's imagination which the author gives a good springboard to leap from.

This is the second of 2 books I ordered because I wanted to paint and design a floor cloth.
Easy instructions and some beautiful designs for anyone who does not want to design their own.

It was good to get more of the technical details about this type of artwork. Until now I only had the info I received from a one-day workshop and that wasn't as in depth as I really would have liked. I also appreciate the author's talent. There are some fine examples which provide inspiration.

The book came quickly, in very good shape.
It was specific in telling how to make the rugs. I was wondering if they would be too hard, but decided I can make one using the book.

It is a step by step explanation of how to make a canvas rug. However she has you working too hard. The history and the pictures of the rugs are really nice. But if I didn't know about labor saving techniques and products I would probably never atempt to make one. I was hoping to get new ideas as I do make canvas floor coverings.

I was informed that the book would be on backorder when I ordered it.
I received it in the time quoted for the backorder.
I like the book. I would order again.
