These designs are just great. Look at that luscious soft blue oriental carpet on the cover. Stunning. My 2 favorite pieces are the quilt and chaise lounge cover in the bedroom. Most of the projects use only 3 or 4 colors. The one with the most colors is the sampler with 9. No threads are directed for the projects, only colors like light, medium and dark blue for the zig zag chair upholstery in the sitting room. I love stitching samplers and miniatures--especially miniature carpets. I own and recommend these books as well:Oriental Carpets in Miniature: Charted Designs for Needlepoint or What You WillMaking Miniature Chinese Rugs & CarpetsMaking Miniature Oriental Rugs & CarpetsMore Miniature Oriental Rugs & CarpetsMore Needlepoint by Design
