Product Description
Book Description
Let your creative juices flow. Needlepoint can become a remarkable vehicle for infusing any interior with a personal sense of color and style. With a lesson in technique and transferring the design, and inspiring encouragement from an expert, you can adorn cushions with the fresh, bright colors and bold designs of ripe pears and plums; make placemats decorated with big, leafy green cabbages; or create a classic blue-and-white pot cushion with shapes taken from Chinese porcelain. Using a needle, thread, and canvas, capture images of fish and fowl, flowers and foliage, faces and fans, jugs and geometrics. The incredible range and beauty of the designs testify to the artist's passion--and will turn needlepoint into a lifetime obsession for you!

Even if you don't do needlepoint, this is a lovely book,
By
This review is from: Kaffe Fassett's Glorious Needlepoint (Paperback)
Firstly, this is a reprint of the Glorious Needlepoint that went out of print. Not a bad thing. Secondly, if you love Victoriana, this is a great book. Kaffee fine needlepoint patterns. My utter favorite is the Fassett is fascinated by overstuffed patterns and the huge flora of the Victorian age, plus the visual excitement of clutter and bric-a-brac. He has been able to translate his art into some very Victorian kittens, complete with sweet expressions and sugary pink bow. This design even makes my manly (but cat-loving) husband melt.

This review is from: Kaffe Fassett's Glorious Needlepoint (Paperback)
This wonderful book is simply a reprint of a much older book by Kaffe, and the description fails to reveal this. New cover, new photo, old book.
