Inspired by patterns created by the Arts & Crafts movement of the late 19th century, collected here are 25 simple but elegant needlepoint projects. Each of the designs is accompanied by clear stitch-by-stitch charts, suggestions for the best needle size and canvas mesh, details of precise yarn requirements, stitch types, and order of work. A practical reference section provides complete information on framing up and basic techniques. Featuring photographs from William Morris' former home Red House, this is an inspirational workbook that is perfect for artists of any level.

This book presents 25 needlepoint projects b ased on the designs of William Morris and his contemporaries in the Arts & Crafts Movement. Each design is carefully cha rted and accompanied by detailed step-by-step instructions. '
