Not what I expected...
This book was rather a disappointment - I purchased it based on good reviews but the designs in the book turned out very simplistic and lacking thorough work on colours and shading. This is no match to other tapestry books like Beth Russell's. Would not recommend...

This is a beautiful book. I’d like to make many of the ...
This is a beautiful book. I’d like to make many of the canvases in this book. Don’t be intimidated by not having a pre-printed canvas. Just follow directions. Back before the era of high end, pre-printed canvases I began to needlepoint. If you needlepoint, you have an eye for detail.

Wilson was great at transposing historical museum works into needlework kits. These are super.
I thought, hoped these designs would lend themselves to conversion to embroidery but though the designs are a wonderful selection of real works of art, they really are only suitable for needlepoint. My fault. I've embroidered a lot of Wilson designs but now it's only needlepoint that one can find. I was just hoping. A great book for a needlepointer!

Tobacco leaf design alone is worth the price of the book
Beautiful designs adapted from Metropolitan Museum in NYC. So excited to do the tobacco leaf pillow. Also the William Morris design looks wonderful.

Beautiful designs
I particularly like this book because it happens to contain information about and illustrate a needlepoint I am working on. It is more useful than the instructions included with the Erica Wilson kit that I had purchased from the Met. There are many beautiful projects included in the book but I think it would take considerable skill and patience to copy the designs onto canvas.Even if you do not actually make anything from the book, it is an enjoyable read.
