Traditional Needlepoint by Frances Kennett & Belinda Scarlett

The finest examples of historic needlepoint can be found in the great country houses of Britain. The rich variety of sewing styles - magnificent medieval tapestries, elegant Georgian bed hangings, Victorian Gothic seat covers - have inspired and delighted visitors for generations. Traditional Needlepoint takes a selection of the best examples of this needlepoint heritage and shows the pieces superbly photographed in their splendid settings. The book then provides all that is needed for the reader to easily recreate these beautiful designs for use in their own home using needlepoint, the simplest and most popular type of embroidery.
