A charming old book, filled with patterns for cross-stitch, embroidery, knitting and crochet. Great resource for patterns for "characters" like the muppets, winnie-the-pooh and holly hobbie.

Great price, great deal, great book. I haven't try yet any of the stuff that is on the book because right now I don't have enough time, but they don't look so difficult to elaborate.
Superb - bringing storybook characters to life

I liked this book so much that I uploaded the back cover to match the front. There is no cheshire cat in this book, I guess the other reviewer was thinking of another. The topics are Beatrix Potter, the Muppets (in crochet and knitting), Barbar by Jean de Brunhoff, Winnie the Pooh on the cover and the Wind and the Willows, Kate Greenaway and the Sun and Water Bonnet Babies. Ms Wilson tells you how to enlarge, block and transfer these gems and here's a real treat....many of Beatrix Potter's are given in stencils for walls or as she has for appliqueing a quilt (yes she discusses how to paint the fabric). This book is a gem.
