I thought this book was lovely and well illustrated, and can't wait to start on some of the projects. There is a good selection of tapestries types and colors. I've seen one review from a disgruntled buyer but personally I didn't expect (and couldn't handle anyway) extremely elaborated and detailed museum tapestries - not all could be brought down to this scale and handled by amateurs. This isn't basic, don't let me mislead you there - I just think that anyone who complained also likes doing 10,000-piece jigsaw puzzles :-)

I was very disappointed with this book. I had expected some wonderful recreations of patterns and designs I had seen in tapestries and photos of Tudor castles and medieval settings but very little of that is to be had here. If you are interested in it, check out a copy of this at your local library before purchasing, if you're still interested go forth and buy, but at least you'll have heads up on the limited nature of this collection.

Sandra Whitehead's book is the first I've bought on this subject, and I've found it simply wonderful. The patterns are practical interpretations of Celtic, medieval and Tudor designs, carefully described and charted, with detailed information about colours and materials. Each project includes a colour photo of the finished piece, a colour chart (often more than one, as the author gives more than one colourway a few times -- a real bonus) and a black and white chart, suitable for photocopying and making notes on.The author states clearly that these are not intended to be scale representations of original works (doing needlepoint on 100 count silk not being terribly practical for most of us), but are rather interpretations of designs using more practical 24 count canvas and cotton floss. Some elements are, of course, simplified because of this, but the author has been to a great deal of trouble to research and adapt her chosen designs, and I think they're charming and most effective.The author also includes information on finishing the pieces, especially for making them up into wallhangings.As a brand new embroiderer, it took me a while to figure out the simple stitches, but once I'd done that, the projects are enjoyable, varied and thoroughly worth while. They will make a great addition to our castle dollhouse.If you're a "scale purist" these may not suit you, but if you're beginning or have limited time or just want a lovely piece for that special period doll house or display, this is a great book.
