Customer Reviews

These needlepoint charts are perfection

If you are into classic needlepoint then this is the book for you. There is a wide variety of designs, over 30, so there is something for everyone. Themes range from The Sea, Florals, both old and modern to Misc designs. I get them enlarged and the colours are clear and the patterns concise. The same type of kits would sell well over $200.

A compelling volume packed with visual examples and written insights into the Ehrman style

Designs by Kaffe Fassett, Candace Bahouth and Elian McCready are just some of the features in The Ehrman Needlepoint Book, fathering designs from top designers across the country. Ehrman needlepoint kits are of high quality, and The Ehrman Needlepoint Book reflects this quality and the possibilities of customizing chosen themes within the Ehrman kit standards. Patterns - some full-page, all in color - yarns, and discussions of each needlepoint challenge are revealed in a gorgeous presentation delving into the finer points of new and old design combinations. Any needlepoint fan will find The Ehrman Needlepoint Book a compelling volume packed with visual examples and written insights into the Ehrman style.

I love this book - glorious upscale patterns and results

I am working on the May pillow right now- I love Candace Behouth's patterns for needlework. This is the sort of book that is hard to find - the patterns are of the BEST out there and the results are stunning! If you like counted/charted needlepoint GET this book. You will NOT be disappointed and you will SAVE money by producing works of beauty yourself. This is not your run of the mill pattern book - this is delicate, intricate, beautifully charted patterns!

The Ehrman Complete Needlepoint Book

This book should be retitled The Ehrman Complete Needlepoint Book. I have been a fan of Hugh Ehrman's kits for over 15 years and this book features all of my favorite patterns as well as instructions on finishing cushions and wall hangings. The artists use of colours are incredible compared to other needlepoints out there. These are truly works of art rather than simple crafts!When will his next book appear? I and many of his devoted fans wait with baited breath for a new book.

beautiful, but charts are hard to read

This book has some of the most beautiful designs for needlepoint that I have yet run across. The only problem is that the graphs are color coded, (as opposed to symbol coded), and since there are so many colors in a lot of the designs, they are pretty hard to read.
