Numerous Colour Illustrations / Photographs. 127 pages clean and tight. Beatrix Potter's marvellous paintings of animals and flowers translate perfectly into designs for needlepoint. Pat Menchini, whose delightful Beatrix Potter Knitting Book used the familiar designs from the Peter Rabbit Tales on decorative knitwear, has now extended her work into the field of embroidery. This time she has drawn not only on the exquisite miniature pictures from the children's books but also on the large number of watercolours that Beatrix Potter painted for her own amusement. 'The choice was enormous and thrilling,' Pat Menchini writes. She has created more than thirty-five projects, from embroidered pictures to firescreens, rugs and bedspreads. Many of the designs are co-ordinated to complement one another. A striking pattern of pansies is used for a rug, a cushion and a waste paper basket; a delicate pink rose motif features on a range of bedroom accessories; and a knitted patchwork shawl echoes the colours of the Tom Kitten cushion. All the items in the book come complete with full instructions, clear charts and superb colour photographs taken by Graham Henderson. Most of the photography was done on location in the English Lake District, some of it in and around Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's own Lakeland farm which is now preserved by the National Trust. Backgrounds which will be recognizable to many readers from the children's book illustrations here provide charming and appropriate settings for the authentic designs. Beatrix Potter herself loved traditional interior design, as is apparent from her letters and her many paintings and drawings of furniture and fabrics. This attractive book will inspire everyone who wishes to practise needlepoint with the pleasure of creating natural and beautiful objects for the home. ., Warne, 1990, 2.75, Addison-Wesley Professional.
