Needlepoint Designs from Oriental Rugs

Needlepoint Designs from Oriental Rugs by Grethe Sorensen

The exquisitely detailed patterns of Persian, Anatolian and Caucasian rugs have fascinated art lovers and collectors for centuries. Now everyone who has wanted to own one of these works of art can stitch them on a smaller scale in needlepoint. Grethe Sorensen has adapted 15 stunning, authentic rug designs for a variety of projects. One basic stitch is used throughout and while the experienced needleworker will find the intricate patterns rewarding, they are graphed so simply that they pose no problem to a beginner. Complete instructions and information about materials are included and each design and finished project is illustrated in color.
