Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Loyal fans of needlepoint will be pleased to see the work of this internationally known designer. Exquisite color photos and diagrams on each page show enlargement of stitches, alternative colorways, color charts, and yarn selection. The 50 projects include footstools, bags, picture frames, chair covers, and several styles of pillows. Many designs have been inspired by folk art and patchwork quilts. A surprising variety of results comes from only one basic stitch, the tent stitch. The advanced craftsperson will appreciate the chapter on techniques--finishing, edging, and charting one's designs. A true inspiration to all crafters and artisans. Iva Freeman
