Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
If Frank M. Cooper's Oriental Carpets in Miniature (Interweave, 1994) has been popular with your patrons or if you have requests for miniature designs for doll-house enthusiasts, you will surely want to consider purchasing this fine new title. The McNaughtons have carefully adapted 25 miniature Oriental rug designs from full-size originals to 1/12 scale and include full-page color charts for each design. The layout and organization of each design is impressive, with background information on each carpet as well as a color photograph of the finished piece. As is the case with all books of this type, the graphed designs could be used for any craft requiring charted designs. Recommended for public libraries and textile collections.

This review is from: Making Miniature Oriental Rugs & Carpets (Master Craftsmen) (Paperback)
Meik and Ian McNaughton have put together a lovely set of illustrations for miniature oriental carpets. The charts are in color which is a plus, and their sample of oriental designs is good for miniaturizing. I appreciate this publication, as I do share their passion for this sort of needlework.
