Pat Carson Designs

Pat Carson from Gloria & Pat Designs has brought her collection of needlework books from the past 30 years that she has collected from all over the world. Many are out of print, some are in different languages, but all are wonderful books about different types of needlework. Some are full of charts, some techniques and some history!! We will be offering them, a few at a time, on the website for you to purchase. It will be "first come, first serve" on these books as we only have 1 of each book.

Colors are represented as well as possible. Due to computer monitor variations,
it is impossible to show exact color matches.

To order items, select your quantities of each item and click the "Add to Cart" button at the bottom of the page. A to the right of the quantity box indicates that this item is already in your cart.
