Folk Art Needlepoint: 20 Projects Adapted from Objects in the American Folk Art Museum
Peltason draws inspiration from folk art sources as varied as quilts, watercolors, and even furniture in this volume of needlepoint projects. Full directions and materials lists are provided, as well as colorful charts and photographs depicting the finished products. These projects aren't just for framing, either—there are paperweights, pillows, curtain tie-backs, and even a door brick. Though directions and information about needlepoint materials, stitches, and finishing are provided, this is for experienced needlepointers looking for classic yet unique patterns and creative, attractive ways to showcase their work. Recommended for needlepoint collections.—Library Journal
