American Patchwork Designs in Needlepoint by Melanie Tacon

More than forty exquisite needlepoint projects, all based on traditional patchwork projects, make this colourful book a must for the needlepoint enthusiast. The projects include cushions, pincushions, box tops, pictures, greeting cards, scissors keeper, herb sachet, curtain tieback, spectacle case, needlecase, a footstool, a bellpull and more. Throughout the book there are fascinating glimpses of the background to each design and the arduous life of the early settlers who created them. The designs featured include such perennial favorites as the Log Cabin, Courthouse Steps, Water Wheel and Fence Rail, as well as some of the distinctive patterns associated with the Amish and Mennonite communities.
