Fassett has successfully challenged the idea that knitting and needlepointing are dull, restrained, and limited to certain subjects or patterns. – Catherine Reurs

I have a penchant for Elizabeth Bradley’s exquisite needlepoint designs and two of her books top my list of favorite pattern books:

1.  Needlework Antique Flowers by Elizabeth Bradley
2.  Decorative Victorian Needlework by Elizabeth Bradley
3.  Kaffe Fassett’s Glorious Needlepoint
4.  Flowers, Birds, and Unicorns: Medieval Needlepoint by Candace Bahouth
5.  In Splendid Detail – Needlepoint Art by Catherine Reurs
6.  Donna Kooler’s Glorious Needlepoint
7.  Glorafilia The Ultimate Needlepoint Collection by Carole Lazarus and Jennifer Berman
8.  Erica Wilson’s Needlepoint (The Metropolitan Museum of Art adaptations)
9.  Jill Gordon’s Needlepoint – Glorious Tapestry Designs
10. American Country Needlepoint by Jim Williams
11. Designer Needlepoint edited by Hugh Ehrman

When love and skill work together expect a masterpiece.

John Ruskin

I am drawn to the whimsical Claire Murray American Heritage Button rug from Nantucket, Massachusetts and the oddly complimentary Campana Brothers‘ Sushi chairs from Brazil. What fun to place them in the same room! The Campana mission to design furniture from objects trouvés, thus sparing the Amazon forest, has led to some truly innovative creations. The limited edition Sushi III chair below sells for $55,000 while the Button Rug sells for approximately $2,300 (8′ x 10′ size).
