Here are designs from different ethnic groups of Laos, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, all authentic and breathtaking in their inspired geometric patterns. Contemporary design can learn much from these intricate motifs organizing two-dimensional textile surfaces. Thus this book joins the number of splendid International Design Library titles listed on the inside back cover.

The majority of the designs in this book are Hmong's. Hmong are globally known for their embroidery skills. Some use the designs in this book for textile study, and others use it as coloring book for their students or children.
