Kaffe Fassett's Glorious Needlepoint

Rating:
Summary: Even if you don't do needlepoint, this is a lovely book
Review: Firstly, this is a reprint of the Glorious Needlepoint that went out of print. Not a bad thing.

Secondly, if you love Victoriana, this is a great book. Kaffee Fassett is fascinated by overstuffed patterns and the huge flora of the Victorian age, plus the visual excitement of clutter and bric-a-brac. He has been able to translate his art into some very Victorian kittens, complete with sweet expressions and sugary pink bow. This design even makes my manly (but cat-loving) husband melt.

Summary: Wonderful but a reprint
Review: This wonderful book is simply a reprint of a much older book by Kaffe, and the description fails to reveal this. New cover, new photo, old book.
