Editorial Reviews:

Book Description
A glorious collection of this well-known needlepoint designer's best work to date. Artist and embroiderer Elian McCready has been one of the best-selling designers for Ehrman Tapestry for years, and this book includes work that has previously only been available in kit form, as well as six new creations. Elian's work is theatrical and larger than life, but her skill is to create highly colored yet subtle results.

The projects are worked in tent stitch and long stitch, and superb colour charts and photographs make the instructions easy to follow. Materials for each project are listed and there is advice on stitching and making up.

For those who want designs for flowers this book has many wonderful ideas to follow, I am sure that I will be using it often.


5 out of 5 stars My favorite book on needlepoint   February 24, 2006
 8 out of 8 found this review helpful

I have books by Graham Rust, Candace Bahouth, Kaffe Fassett, Beth Russell among other notable designers in needlepoint and this is the only one that I want to do every design in the book. The charts are easy to read, with symbols in addition to being colored. I wouldn't recommend it for a true beginner, but it is a fantastic book.


5 out of 5 stars Careful - same as hardcover of same name, diff cover   October 29, 2005

This is a wonderful book, but be careful. It is the same book as the hardcover that Amazon is listing as a great book to get WITH this one. They have the same title, but the cover changed with the paperback.

I am very pleased with this book. The designs are very beautiful and colorful. I have purchased books in the past that did not inspire me to begin a project like this book.
