I found the book to be excellent in the amount of information given and the format. The black and white pictures sometimes failed to show those who are just learning the art a detailed view of the stitch. This would make a great bible of needlepoint for those who want to expand their craft beyond the basketweave and continental stitches. It is a tremendous reference tool for beginners as ...             Simple Giving Crafts: Make to Give Handcrafts that Comfort2 reviews Vivian Peritts Faithful Publishing, 2005 Great for Helping Hands If you enjoy helping others, or enjoy crafting, this is the book for you.

Hower Prentice Hall, 1976 Get your feet wet This book has been in my library for about 20 years. I stopped needing it ages ago, and now am reviewing it just prior to giving it to another fiber arts novice. The material in this manual is clearly presented in such a way as to give the beginner the confidence to wade into these 3 inter-related fiber arts. Nothing has changed much in this field over the last few decades, and even though it was ...             420 HANDCRAFTS ILLUSTRATED IN SIMPLE STEPS1 review GLORIA FOREMAN GLORIA FOREMAN PUBLISHING CO, 1958 inside reads Efficient instruction is more likely to result when visual materials are utilized effectively in developing ideas and creative abilities of the boy and girl.

I have loved needlepoint now for over thirty years. Probably one of the greatest things my mother gave me was a beginners needlepoint class when I was eight years old. I basket-weaved away for many, many years. Then, I discovered this book. It took my love for needlepoint to new levels of creativity. There are so many easy to follow directions for stiches that I had never seen before. This book ...             Counted Cross-Stitch Designs for Christmas1 review Danish Handcraft Guild Charles Scribner's Sons, 1978 A must-have book for people who love cross-stitching I have checked this book out of the library over and over again.

Ewing, LaVonne Ewing Pixyjack Press, 2002 Enjoyable reading with a wealth of information I have been reading everything I can find about log homes. Most of the books I have read are more like an information text book. Lots of facts but boring. Logs Wind and Sun gives you the facts and how to use them along with a very enjoyable story of the trials and tribulations the authors encountered building there own log home. This gives you a much better idea of what to expect building your ...             California Tile: The Golden Era 1910-1940: Acme to Handcraft2 reviews Schiffer Publishing, 2003 Great Book, but Dang! Where's the rest of it? Without a doubt, this has got to be one of the best, if not the best book on Arts and Crafts Tile I've seen, and I've got them all. Although dealing with California tile makers only, there's enough material here to fill two books - and in fact, that's what they did! I didn't realize that this is really Vol. I of II, the other covers the rest of the H's down to the Z's. And that's my only gripe ...             The lady of Shalott1 review Alfred Tennyson Tennyson Handcraft Shop, 1901 Other Books The Lady of Shalott, to me, is a poem of interest because of the Arthurian theme. Another example of the tragic figures surrounding these legends, and how obviously hot that Lancelot bloke was, given how all the girls seemed to desperately want him. When the breaks the magical taboo of actually looking at him, rather than via a mirror, her doom falls, and she sails, in death, down a ...             Needlepoint (Creative handcrafts series)1 review Jo Ippolito Christensen Prentice Hall, 1979 Synopsis From back cover: From your first stitch to your last, Needlepoint: The Third Dimension sparks your imagination and versatility.

Indian handcrafts)1 review Carrie A Lyford Haskell Institute, 1960 Iroquois Crafts by Lyford As a member of the Oneida Nation, part of the Iroquois confederacy, I am very pleased with this book.

I really recommend it for anyone attempting to make Women's or men's traditional outfits.             Early L. & J. G. Stickley Furniture: From Onondaga Shops to Handcraft1 review L. & J. G. Stickley Dover Publications, 1992 This is a good book for generating ideas!

The book is broken into three sections: 'Introduction', 'Saleman's Catalog', and 'Retail Plates'. The introduction includes some basic background on the importance of the Stickleys to the ...             Making Adorable Animal Dolls: Handcrafts to Treasure1 review Miriam Gourley Sterling/Chapelle, 2002 VERY GOOD THE BOOK IS VERY GOOD FOR LOVING SOFT DOLLS AND TOYS.
