Elian McCready's Needlepoint: 19 Vibrant Projects from Ehrman's Top Designer
Artist and embroiderer Elian McCready has been one of the best-selling designers for Ehrman Tapestry for years, and this book includes work that has previously only been available in kit form, as well as six new creations. Elian's work is theatrical and larger than life, but her skill is to create highly coloured yet subtle results. The projects are worked in tent stitch and long stitch, and superb colour charts and photographs make the instructions easy to follow. Materials for each project are listed and there is advice on stitching and making up.

Beautiful needlepoint book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I was absolutely delighted when this book arrived. Not only are the designs superb, the general layout of the book is excellent too. There are full page close ups, so that you get a really good feel for exactly how the tapestry will look. The instructions and graphs are very clear and the photography is beautiful. I highly recommend this book.
Great!

My favorite book on needlepoint
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I have books by Graham Rust, Candace Bahouth, Kaffe Fassett, Beth Russell among other notable designers in needlepoint and this is the only one that I want to do every design in the book. The charts are easy to read, with symbols in addition to being colored. I wouldn't recommend it for a true beginner, but it is a fantastic book.

I am very pleased with this book. The designs are very beautiful and colorful. I have purchased books in the past that did not inspire me to begin a project like this book.
