5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful but a reprint, October 5, 2000

By	Peter E. Olson "peophd" (Watertown, MN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This wonderful book is simply a reprint of a much older book by Kaffe, and the description fails to reveal this. New cover, new photo, old book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Even if you don't do needlepoint, this is a lovely book, February 2, 2001

By	Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)

Firstly, this is a reprint of the Glorious Needlepoint that went out of print. Not a bad thing.

Secondly, if you love Victoriana, this is a great book. Kaffee Fassett is fascinated by overstuffed patterns and the huge flora of the Victorian age, plus the visual excitement of clutter and bric-a-brac. He has been able to translate his art into some very Victorian kittens, complete with sweet expressions and sugary pink bow. This design even makes my manly (but cat-loving) husband melt.

My utter favorite is the Fassett is fascinated by overstuffed patterns and the huge flora of the Victorian age, plus the visual excitement of clutter and bric-a-brac.
