Twenty-four different designs from these rich traditions, carefully reduced in scale and accurately charted, make handsome small take-along projects. Designs can be worked on fine, medium or heavy canvas. The patterns have been gleaned from museum collections, and their origins have been carefully researched and documented.
These 37 rug designs are charted for easy use on #18 canvas: Oriental, Persian, Early American, and more.
Designs from the Islamic countries of North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.
