A Needlepoint Gallery of Patterns From The Past by Phyllis Kluger

A whole new world of beautiful and elegant needlepoint awaits you in these pages. Here, worked out stitch by stitch, are 102 fresh, visually exciting designs that combine extraordinary charm with real aesthetic value. Each is ingeniously adapted from the art of the past - and the variety is remarkable. In each case, you see the finished needlepoint, superbly photographed both in color and in black-and-white. You are provided with a clear chart indicating type of stitch, placement and color. The designs are drawn from Ancient Egypt and Classical Greece to The Renaissance, The American Folk Tradition and Art Nouveau.
