The book is beautiful and I hope it will bey very useful as well. I am looking forward using it and will start with sewing the Icelandic star in blue. The item I got is used and signed by the author and it should be an good inspiration also because it is signed the 11th jun 1999 on my grandmothers birthday. I wonder where this book will take me, it is filled with unexpected adventures.

Excellent book on old Icelandic tapestry design, in needlepoint. Jona Sparey gives good instructions and her colour-selections is wonderful. I look forward to make some of my own, starting with one of the small ones.

Babykins is trying to decide which beautiful pattern will be the first. So many choices, and so much variety! Good stuff!

Book is excellent. Range of traditional patterns that are very hard to access. Book is second hand but in excellent condition.

This book was bought as a birthday gift for my sister. She told me it arrived very quickly and was in good condition. She is delighted with it. From my perspective the price was excellent compared to a new copy which would have been over £50.

The designs featured in this book are medieval and old-world Folk-Art designs. The patterns are easy to read, and although the charts are in black and white, due to the graphic nature of the patterns they are easy to read and follow. The book starts out with a variety of pictures of samplers, followed by 4 pages of small sampler motives, so the reader can design his or her own sampler. Towards the end of the book a medieval tapestry pattern is offered with the same concept for DIY design. The patterns also include an Icelandic star and a blue and white tapestry, inspired by a horse cover for a lady's side saddle. Overall the book holds what it promises, but would be better if it would include better photography of finished needlework projects, instead of just showing tiles of the work. It is a good book for a very specific audience and taste, and certainly worth a look.

I bought this book about 15 years ago, lent it to someone and didn't get it back, grrr! So I bought another copy because I knew that I'd loved it and I wanted to work a needlepoint rug and remembered that there are large needlepoint bed covers in this book so a rug should be reasonably easy to design. There are lots of patterns from borders and motifs to a beautiful Icelandic Knot ( similar to Celtic ) which I put in the centre of a sampler I made in cross stitch when I had the first book. All the patterns can be worked in cross stitch as well as needlepoint tent stitch. There are patterns for cushion fronts, stool covers, pictures and large bed covers amongst others. Great book, glad I was able to get another copy !
