In the last twenty years, Jennifer Berman and Carole Lazarus, founders of Glorafilia, have built an unequaled reputation for producing beautiful and innovative needlepoint kits. This gorgeous book presents twenty-six all-new projects based on Glorafilia's most enduringly popular motifs, including country flowers, shells, tartans, butterflies, kilims, Victoriana, and more. The first Glorafilia book, published in 1989, was a collection of their favorite designs and has become one of the classic needlepoint books of all time. Now, in response to many requests to produce another comprehensive book, they have created Glorafilia: The Ultimate Needlepoint Collection. There is something for every taste in this book, whether an ornament that is quick to stitch or a carpet that will become a family heirloom. The design inspirations leap time and distance from seventeenth-century French textiles to Arts and Crafts pottery and English gardens or traditional embroidery from India. Here are complete step-by-step instructions with full-color charts for an elegant toile de Jouy footstool, a rose garden rug, a tartan Christmas stocking, and a kilim-inspired pillow, to name a few.
