Customer Reviews

Beautiful needlepoint book!

I was absolutely delighted when this book arrived. Not only are the designs superb, the general layout of the book is excellent too. There are full page close ups, so that you get a really good feel for exactly how the tapestry will look. The instructions and graphs are very clear and the photography is beautiful. I highly recommend this book.

Great!

For those who want designs for flowers this book has many wonderful ideas to follow, I am sure that I will be using it often.

My favorite book on needlepoint

I have books by Graham Rust, Candace Bahouth, Kaffe Fassett, Beth Russell among other notable designers in needlepoint and this is the only one that I want to do every design in the book. The charts are easy to read, with symbols in addition to being colored. I wouldn't recommend it for a true beginner, but it is a fantastic book.

Exceptional Designs

I am very pleased with this book. The designs are very beautiful and colorful. I have purchased books in the past that did not inspire me to begin a project like this book.
