What is More Needlepoint Design about?

Lou Gartner is probably the best known professional needlepoint designer in the US, and the author of the best-selling book Needlepoint Design, a first of its kind which taught modern techniques of transferring patterns to canvas yourself. This new book is a collection of 80+ examples of his most recent work. You can transfer these designs to canvas yourself for a fraction of the cost of buying them ready to stitch. His own working drawings are supplied for you to photostat to size and trace onto canvas. If desired, you can then paint the canvas with indelible colors before you stitch it. The designs are also shown in finished needlepoint, most of them in full color - providing an excellent guide not only to painting your canvas but to stitching it as well. More Needlepoint Design is a sourcebook that will not soon be outgrown and which encourages beginners no less than experienced needlepointers to put designs on canvas themselves - including, by all means, making their own variations, not only copies. The range of patterns is very broad - from a glasses case with a stylized rope-knot motif that can be traced directly from the printed page, to naturalistic underwater seascapes for
