"In this book, the author has searched out the cultures of the Southeastern tribes of the United States — Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Seminole — and has taken more than one hundred traditional designs from basketry, pottery, jewelry, textiles, body painting, ornaments, and many other sources, and adapted them for the needlepointer's canvas.

There are many photographs illustrating some of the unusual applications of the designs, with easy-to-follow stitch diagrams so that even the beginner will find the projects enjoyable to work and rewarding to display. And, for all the left-handers who have long been ignored, there is a complete set of left-handed stitch diagrams. A few pages of helpful hints on how to improve your skill and work habits, and even finish your own work, plus a brief history of the Southeastern tribes to enhance the appreciation of the work round out what is one of the most valuable books on needlepoint and the great American Indian heritage." -- Book jacket.
