BOOK REVIEW: FRIEDA HALPERN, FULL COLOUR RUSSIAN NEEDLEPOINT DESIGNS - CHARTED FOR EASY USE - DOVER (NEW YORK) 1976


 

Though Russian needlepoint designs are one of the most followed pins in the Pinterest platform and there is not shortage of charted designs from this country, this classical book by Frieda Halpern is a classic book that is not only informative as useful for stitchers looking for folk charted patterns. 

I took the pictures below with missing bits and as double paged as I don't scan nor provide free copies of books for which I do not have copyrights. 

This book has no background text but is still quite rich of content because of 31 pages of borders, icons and  wedding sampler elements . 

Presently there are over twenty copies of the book for sale on amazon. 

Here are some pictures, hope you enjoy it and until next time,
