After the success of Medieval Needlepoint, Candace Bahouth has chosen love as the theme for her second collection of 20 needlepoint projects.

Customer Reviews

A wide and beautiful variety of projects in many styles.

Shortly after I bought this book, I ran out and got threads to make five projects from it, ranging from a Renaissance heart-shaped pillow, to an Klimt-inspired evening bag. Using love as the theme, Bahouth ranges over the world of art from ancient Eygpt, Greece and Rome to popart. The designs are wonderful, imaginative, and easy to stitch. Her sources of design and her innovative style will stretch your imagination
