From Booklist:

A visit to any home-decorating store reveals the popularity of pillows as accessories. Pyke operates an Australian shop specializing in elegant embroidery and cushion kits. This handsome manual includes a bevy of designs by Pyke and her coauthors, together with instructions for basic stitching and sewing techniques. Color photographs show lovely bedrooms and sitting rooms adorned with taffeta, velvet, brocade, and lavishly embroidered cushions, providing plenty of ideas as well as actual patterns to study and undertake. Many of these pillows involve advanced techniques, but their heirloom ambience is worth the extra effort. Alice Joyce
