From Publishers Weekly:
Boyles's numerous needlecrafts books (Beginner's Needlepoint, The Act of Bargello, etc.) have earned her a reputation for dependable guidance, and readers will find here precise, quickly grasped directions and full-sized patterns, marked carefully at joints, to be transferred to templates. Emphasizing the appeal of bucolic amenities, Boyles details the methods and stitches for approximating her creations, which are depicted in color and black-and-white photographs. The motifs are traditonal, dating back to colonial days: the Angel Gabriel, the hospitable pineapple, swan, eagle, flowers, wreaths, hearts, etc. Readers will find here quaint, primitive dolls, pillows, quilts, pictures, rugs, Christmas decorations and other charmers. The author offers a choice of needlework techniques to which all the designs lend themselves, including embroidery, candlewicking, hooking, patchwork, quilting, stenciling.

From Library Journal:
Boyles's country designs are sophisticated looking but surprisingly easy to make. Her chatty instructions include shortcuts and tips about how and why she does a particular step or technique, and she encourages the reader to use her or his own taste in selecting the colors and fabrics with which to make projects. The 30 designs are simple enough to be adapted to several techniques, and examples of this are given in the book. Although a less expensive book like McCalls' Big Book of Country Needlecrafts ( LJ 9/1/83) has many more projects, Boyles's book is recommended for any library with a demand for craft books.
