From Library Journal:

To call this the "complete book" of needlecrafts is somewhat misleading, since it covers only the techniques of embroidery, needlepoint, quilting, applique, and patchwork. Originally published in England, the book emphasizes the traditional techniques for which British needlework is famous. The individual chapters combine basic instruction with patterns and step-by-step instructions for projects. It is not as extensive or as detailed in coverage as The Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Needlework ( LJ 11/1/79), which remains the best modern guide in this field. Still, it is well illustrated and does provide some attractive projects. Recommended for public libraries.
