5.0 out of 5 stars
beautiful, but charts are hard to read, April 27 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ehrman Needlepoint Book (Hardcover)
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.

Very nice designs, light on the detail, Jan 26 2006

This review is from: The Ehrman Needlepoint Book (Paperback)
The designs in this book are great. However, the threads used are mostly Appleton and Paternayan and the book contains a conversion chart between DMC and Anchor.... Also, no information is given for differing lengths of thread for each brand. This makes conversion into a different thread brand extremely difficult.
Another weakness is that the charts are simply colored, without additional markings to differentiate between similar tones.
Just a little more attention to these editorial details would have made this book truly excellent.

The Ehrman Complete Needlepoint Book, May 10 2001
By "esherril" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ehrman Needlepoint Book (Hardcover)
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.
