Some beautiful designs and the author shows how to use gradation of colors to achieve depth.

This book's projects have a depth and elegance that I've not yet seen in previous punch needle books.
I definitely want to make both the rugs, but especially the serape one. What an excellent use of scrap yarn! And that edging? Yes, please!

Lots of good information. Heavy on the Amy Oxford/Oxford punch needle.
Vibrant photos. Gave me inspiration to create more modern work.
