Best of the Best

This is one of the finest books on needlepoint ever printed. The diagrams are so clear that even the rawest needlepoint novice can follow them, yet the plethora of stitches opens a whole new realm of possibilities even for the veteran stitcher. The photographs that are included in the book are fascinating examples of what needlework can be once an embroiderer decides to move on from kits and basket weave.
