“Its an ultimate pattern- and color-reference source, absolutely guaranteed to get your pulse pounding. If you love all things colorful, decorative, and dazzling to the eye....Its hard to imagine a more intoxicating enticement to be more colorful in ones own work, no matter whether its quilting, garment-making, or any other sort of design. At less than $20...this book is a bargain.” —

This magical, oversized album provides a virtual treasure chest of wonderful ideas and a top designer's interpretations of some of the pieces. To find inspiring source material for impressive needlepoints and knits, you no longer need to trek to museums, pore through magazines, and search through old books. Shells and minerals, sea creatures, animals, fruit and foliage, and flowers--choose from all these patterns and more. Roses painted on an old-fashioned glass plate blossom into an embroidery of the richest reds, sunniest yellows, and liveliest pinks. A silvery Roman mosaic of fanciful fish set sail on wool and canvas instead. A fascinating glimpse into the creative process.
