A picture book, not a hands-on guide
This book, at $20, is essentially a rather pricey catalog of Hugh Ehrman needlepoint kits, with a few samples.The cover promises a "glorious selection of more than 40 needlepoint creations", but many of these,really the most attractive ones, are only pictured and described.Thenumber of projects for which actual instructions are given is only 12.Idid find two or three projects that I might want to work, but I would saythe purpose of this book is mostly inspiration (and marketing), nothands-on instruction. ...

A little book with big ideas
When I first saw this tiny book I balked at spending $9.95....until I really looked at the contents. The photos are wonderful: clear and beautiful. The directions are concise with great line drawings. Even ifyou've never tried these technics the book is inspiring. ... Read more

Nice designs, disappointing book.
Catherine Reurs is a well-known and very talented needlepoint designer.This book provides a sampling of her work.Although many of the designs were quite nice, the book was ultimately a disappointment.There were instructions provided for only a small percentage of the designs illustrated in the book (and in many cases not the ones I liked best).In fact, only two of the four pictured on the front and back cover had instructions.I would have preferred a few less atmospheric pictures, minimal text, and a few more actual charts.On the other hand, the author did provide several examples of alternate colorways to spur the reader's imagination.Read more

Designs are nice, but only if you use Anchor floss
I love the designs in this book. There are whimsical children's rooms, whimsical adult rooms, serious floral rugs, chair and stool designs. However, the artist must have designed these for Anchor brand floss only because when you try to stitch them with her provided DMC conversions, they do not work out at all. For example, in the lighthouse picture, the medium blue and dark blue are nearly the exact same shade from two different color families in DMC, so you don't really see it until you've begun stitching. Then you have to pick the stitches back out. On her pink variation of the rose rug, if you use the DMC floss colors provided by the author, the lightest pink is actually purple or pale periwinkle, and not pink at all. Some variations are shown but have no color keys as well, and may be a problem for the perfectionist beginner. ... Read more
