This collection reveals the Ehrman standards at their best, whether the reader's taste is for traditional style or the boldly contemporary. The unusual themes reflect the individual styles of the 14 featured designers - which include Kaffe Fassett, Candace Bahouth and Elian McCready - whose skilled use of colour create pieces that are both vivid and stylish. Clear and detailed instructions, full-colour charts and photographs should tempt the most tentative of stitchers.
