Editorial Review This book describes needlepoint methods that make the best use of skills, equipment and time, and shows how to develop simple ideas using personal flair and inspiration taken from crafts and natural surroundings. Using colours, textures and forms as her inspiration, Ann Ellis shows how to take simple ideas and to translate them into needlepoint items for the home. She gives advice on building up patterns and choosing colours, and discusses how to produce uniquely crafted pieces of work to complement their settings. A variety of projects are included, for cushions, mirror frames, containers and smaller pieces such as spectacle cases and small boxes. These are just some of the projects featured, illustrated in colour, and with suggestions for any number of adaptations.
