Reader Reviews:
One of the best collections of Celtic design (2/2 people found this helpful)
There are quite a few books on Celtic designs for needlework, but this is one of the best. The author explains the original Celtic source for each design (a particular page of the Book of Darrow, for instance), and how she has adapted shapes and colours from the original setting. There is a very useful 'library' of individual motifs, but also many complete projects, from small designs that could be done in an evening to a superb firescreen, pictures, pillows, small gifts etc. The charts are clear and easy to follow. I have stitched a number of these designs now, and have always been very pleased with the result. Definitely a winner!
Celtic Cross Stitch at its best (23/23 people found this helpful)
I have quite a few Celtic Cross Stitch books and this is one of the best. Not only are the charts clear and large enough to see, at the back of the book there is a small library of charts which can be used individually. It gives you the inspiration to have a go at designing yourself.
