Reviews

As the title indicates, this is a book of designs from other media, intended to be an inspiration for needleworkers who want to create their own patterns. Fairfield has selected representative designs from many cultures, beginning with prehistoric cave paintings at Lascaux, France, and continuing through 20th-century Art Deco. What distinguishes this book from the many design sourcebooks published by Dover and others are the needlework examples worked by the author to show how the designs may be used. There are no projects as such, but some charts and stitch diagrams are included. Recommended.
