From Library Journal
Makers of doll house textiles often
have problems doing authentic detail in the 1/12 scale needed to fit.
Both of these books address this concern, providing accessories 8" on a
side or smaller charted for needlepoint at 24 stitches to the inch. The
McNaughtons' work, a sequel to their Making Miniature Oriental Rugs
& Carpets, has a new selection of tiny rugs with fantastic detail.
There appears to be no simplification of design from the full-size
originals. Whitehead's wall hangings are original designs based on
historic motifs. Both books are charted in full color, with the
Whitehead book having additional black-and-white charts. The oriental
rug charts are keyed to Appleton's crewel wool, and the wall hangings
are keyed to DMC and Anchor cotton floss. Both books are excellent
additions to collections catering to miniaturists and needleworkers.
