Really a six star book
I don't know what these other people are thinking. On a scale of 1 to 5, this book is a 6. I've now done the Innovation Ground School and a thinking expedition with Rolf and Durwin Sharp, and my hair is till on fire. Anyone who doesn't read this book is a bozo. Everyone should call up Rolf and sign up to do the Innovation Ground School, then the School for Innovators. Let's keep these two guys ...

Addicting...
I generally won't pick up books...I tend to think I am too busy to read. Little did I know, when my friend handed me a copy of Dream Tapestry and said, "Just sit, relax and read", how caught of guard I would be when I couldn't put it down! My kids were tucking themselves into bed at night!!! I was enthralled in the storylines between Peejay and her friends and continually imagining myself in ...

Simply Outstanding
I came to this book because my family and I will be traveling to Normandy this summer. We plan to stay in Bayeaux and view the tapestry. The book delivered what I had hoped: a detailed survey of the tapestry that will no doubt simmer in my subconcious as I view the work itself. But along the way, Bridgeford offered so much more. After reading the book, I have a much greater sense of medieval ...

Tapestry Weaving: A Comprehensive Study Guide
As a new weaver, I am finding this book to be very informative. It covers all the basics from equipment , estimating materials, techniques for tapestry weaving, as well as patterns for projects. The photographs are lovely and an inspiration to me to design my own tapestries. Like the author, I already have many ideas and not enough time to accomplish all I can imagine. I am reading through ...

A Family Tradition For Over 50 Years!!
This truly magnificent book has been a family tradition for over 50 years. I have the most fondest memories of my siblings and I sitting in our living room as children listening to our parents read 1 or 2 chapters per night. They would time it perfectly to have the last chapter read on Christmas Eve year after year. More than 30 years later, I continue the tradition with my own ...

This is an outstanding book: comprehensive, very good instructions on technique, and best of all - it's written by a mother and daughter team who are serious artists. If you want to stretch your art, get this book.

The one book you'll need to get going
If you want to learn on your own, this is the book you need. I bought the paper back, took it to the copy place to cut the spine and spiral bind it with clear plastic covers. Now it stays open to the page I'm working from. Her directions are clear for every sitch and they are organized approporiately by type. Charts tell what each stitch is great and poor for. Easy to use without reading; ...

Excellent introduction and reference to Wicket
I began using Wicket a number of weeks ago, and could easily see from the lack of consistent online documentation, that I'd need a book for the more complicated aspects (such as Form components) and some mundane ones (like localisation). This one proved to be a good choice of book. I started with a rough idea of how things are constructed, but I've learned alot since that I've been able to apply ...

Exceptional presentation of extraordinary objects!
Any catalog of this exhibition of 85 seldom-seen items from the Met's vast textile collection would be an essential addition to any collection of books about embroidery, but this is far more than a simple list of items. In addition to clear photographs and descriptions of each piece, there are six well-written essays which discuss such varied topics as the significance of specific Biblical ...

Astonishing Treasure
I had never even heard of Robert McGinnis until I was linked to this page by the editors' names (the Fenners) who I know from their affiliation with science fiction art. The reviews were so favorable that I decided to gamble on this book without any other familiarity with McGinnis. I usually lose on these impulsive gambles. Not this time. Suffice it to say this book is a total prize, it's just ...

The Alchemical Woman
The authors, Catherine Davidson, Ramona Rubio have written a book that all women can learn and experience in different ways, what their life is all about. I think the part that I liked the best was the explanation of some of the stages that I have already gone through. You never really know the reasons why when you are in the middle of these alchemical stages. When you now reflect back and see ...

For Creative Moms
I am already a person who "weaves the dream," so I got more out of this book in encouragement for not letting the day to day challenges of choosing to stay at home with my young son overwhelm my own need for creative reflection. I think DREAM WEAVING could be a terrific resource book for other women struggling to meet the demands of family and a creative soul. Susan Laubmeier
