The charts could be easier. The black squares made it dificult to read but great designs

What a fantastic book. It is exactly what I require. All of the patterns are copies of the genuine article. I am having trouble deciding on which one to make.

I have a passion for Persian carpets yet I never imagined I could find a way to capture a bit of this art by making something myself. The designs in the books are lush and inspiring- each one a jewel box of oriental carpet design. The directions look fairly easy to follow though I have to confess I don't know how to needlepoint....Yet! Readers of this book may also want to check out the second needlepoint book I purchased with this one: "Tribal Design s for Needlepoint" by Gay Ann Rogers.

If you love oriental carpets and do any knitting, weaving ,or needlepoint this is a great source book. Mr Campbell charts out each carpet so you can design on any scale from minii to full size carpet. Beautiful and important work

This is an incredible labor of love on the part of the author and it is gracious of him to share his work for our enrichment and enjoyment. The intricate designs of the rugs the author has chosen to reproduce are painstakingly charted and he has made careful notes of any small changes in color or a minor change in a detail. The charts are easy to follow, needless to say. (I'm using them for something other than needlepoint.) Also, the descriptions of the rugs the designs were taken from, the meaning of some of the design elements, the regions they were made, and stylistic differences between regions were really well written and interesting, so it was like a crash course in oriental rugs as well. Fascinating.

I once had this book and somehow lost it. I made a few designs in then and found them difficult enough to hold my interest. I want to make some mousepads for christmas gifts from the patterns and I remembered that they are easily altered because of the repeated motifs. I was delighted to find it in great condition and signed by the author/artist.

I couldn't resist this book! I love oriental carpets, but of course they're expensive and require a lot of space. This way I can have the designs I love, in miniature. The rugs he chose are lovely, and the designs easy to follow, plus he provides the color numbers for the yarn if you want to use his colors. (This is particularly nice if you live overseas like I do and need to order the yarn.) I would have liked some hints on how to come up with designs for other rugs, but it's easy to figure out by looking at his designs. The book is obviously for a niche market, but if you like oriental carpets and needlepoint, I doubt there's anything out there quite like this.
