Must Have for Needlepointer...
Beautiful designs.Charts are clear, concise and very easy to follow.I plan to make two patterns..quinces into a round foot stool and a tabacco leaf pattern..very beautiful.I have a lot of books which I never made projects from.This one I will.A must have!!

The working charts are the best I've seen.
This is an outstanding needlework book.What sets it apart from others (I have a largeselection) are the wonderful working charts, they're the best I've seen.

Absolutely Fabulous....
THE source for not-treacly sweet designs -- everthing from Tiffany to Ming Porcelain to do, and clear instructions and materials lists.My first experience with working from charts and now I fear I'll never find a better source! ... Read more

Excellent Kilim Designs in Needlepoint
The instructions for the 25 projects are well written and illustrated for the beginner as well as those how have done needlepoint for years.The color photographs are of high quality, making the finished projectsextremely enticing to make.Each project not only has a description of theitem, but also a well written brief history of the origin of the specificitem to be stitched.The color charts was well illustrated and easy tofollow.Thirteen pages are dedicated to materials and techniques from howto make the first needlepoint stitch to framing, hanging, finishing, makingknotted fringes and tassels.This area of the book is a Big Plus!Onelast comment, This is truly a great needlepoint book! ...

must be an idiot
Was not helpful in starting, had to have someone show me. Wouldn't recommend the book.

Adequate for the basics
Some people have complained that this book wasn't in-depth enough for them...Well, the book is a guide!It doesn't claim to be an all-inclusive, comprehensive text.But it is definitely a great reference tool to learn the sheer basics.The illustrations and accompanying descriptions for learning the crochet and knit stitches are very good.Previously, seeing a pattern for a project would have intimidated me.Now I can understand them and have successfully created some articles that I'm very proud of.
Great tutorials
I have always been a fan of Ms. Barbara's via the [...] website and I was thrilled beyond words when I found out she was going to be putting her never ending knowledge about knitting in a book.If you want to learn to knit, grab this one. ... Read more

SUBLIME FLOWERS
I always enjoy picking up a project book of needlearts and finding a good mix of sophisticated ideas for needlework.This book has it in spades!From the ethereal cover picture (not that shown above) of an appliqued and embroidered Lenten Rose/HHellebore, to the magnificently engineered tulip on the back cover, the very realistic pansies, the lavender, to the sweet violets atop an appliqued velvet "leaf"....I thoroughly enjoyed this book!Read more

terrific
It is easy to understand & follow. I have made like the big bear it turned out lovely.I really enjoy doing plastic canvas crafts.I some times add little things to the lovely patterns. It sets them off.

Fantastic.
The book is filled with lots of ideas.I have made seven items from it already (as gifts of course)and they are very well received.Plastic canvasing is my new addiction!

this book is loaded with ideas for everyone you know.
I found this book to a definite value for the money spent. It has patterns for even the hardest person to make for. The patterns were differant, and beautiful. It was well made and packed with content. I wish I had all the series to go with this one. Other books I enjoyed to go with this one was Looney tunes in plastic canvas book 7. ... Read more

A wide and beautiful variety of projects in many styles.
Shortly after I bought this book, I ran out and got threads to make five projects from it, ranging from a Renaissance heart-shaped pillow, to an Klimt-inspired evening bag.Using love as the theme, Bahouth ranges over the world of art from ancient Eygpt, Greece and Rome to popart.The designs are wonderful, imaginative, and easy to stitch.Her sources of design and her innovative style will stretch your imagination ...

Gave a new dimension to my knitting
I met Kaffee Fassett for the first time through the first edition of this book, and my knitting life totally changed. From then on I have seen colors and patterns everywhere, and love to blend and mix colors in my knitting. Welcome back, Kaffe
This is a reprint of the original Glorious Color, which was a groundbreaking knitting book. Kaffe Fassett, a London-based artist, discovered that he could use a rainbow pallette of yarn as well as paint to express his particular artistic ideas. The rest is knitting history.Read more

Very nice designs, light on the detail
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.
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! ...

Highly recommend!
This book is excellent for cross-stitchers and needlepointers alike.The charts are printed in great colors and are enlarged so that you can actually see them.The projects in here are wonderful.They are very realistic looking.There are several pillows: a black and white hen with chicks, a beautiful rabbit with pansies, yellow primroses, roses and butterflies... There are footstool patterns and framed pictures.There are also 2 stockings and some ornaments.I was very happy when I opened this book having ordered it sight-unseen.

Great flower and animal designs!
I really like this book-- the charts are easy to read, the color combinations work well, and the subjects are charming. I especially like the chicken and the rabbit, but all of the designs are on my to do list.
