This review is from: Medieval and Tudor Needlecraft: Knights and Ladies in 1/12 Scale (Paperback)

This is the perfect book for anybody loving medieval and renaissance times and interested in miniatures and dollhouses. The projects are well-described and beautifully illustrated with photos and color drawings. You can make doll costumes in period, embroidered bedspreads, cushion covers, settle cushions, and tapestries -- all the fiber arts from a medieval or renaissance household. The directions are easy to follow, and the projects are WONDERFUL! Can't recommend it highly enough. Get two! Get three!
