This book includes designs for cushions, rugs, chair seats, hangings, fire screens, a Charleston blotter and Virginia Wolf's glasses case. Stitch-by-stitch color charts, yarn information and detailed instructions make it easy to recreate the spontaneity of the original tapestries and designs, and suggestions for alternative colors are also given. Some of the designs are based on the murals and paintings rather than the tapestries and the author takes a look at the recurring motifs of boats, shells, flowers and cherubs, many inspired by Charleston and its seaside location.
