Helpful Score: 1
All patterns are copies of items from the museum with 84 illustrations. Re-create a needlepoint chair seat from the 18th century called Autumn Leaves;or Still Life With Grapes from an Egyptian, tapestry. How about Pastoral Landscape from an American needle-point c. 1750. Or Flower Garden With Wild Strawberries from a petit point purse, American 1760. There are many,many more to choose from, with photos of all. Very pretty book with good instructions along with info on choosing fabrics and a gallery of stitches to use.
