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.

Provides instruction for using needlepoint, quilting, bargello, embroidery, and other needlework techniques to make a variety of clothing and other items.

A collection of 22 needlepoint projects which are based on William Morris's designs. The projects include rugs, cushions and chair seats and are worked in tent stitch for canvas. The accompanying colour charts enable the reader to follow the instructions with ease.
