Book Description
This exceptionally fine needlecraft guide from the turn of the century includes instructions for projects that range from drawn-thread work—one of the oldest and simplest forms of art needlework—to the attractive novelty of bead embroidery on netting. Abundantly illustrated directions for "fancy stitchery" also provide tips for such exquisite creations as reticella lace and Venetian crochet, elegant hardanger and hedebo work, macramé, cross-stitch, ancient cut-work, and embroidery on flannel. A delightful glimpse of needlework from a bygone era. Unabridged republication of The Home Art Book of Fancy Stitchery, originally published by The Girl's Own Paper and Woman's Magazine, London, [n. d.] 244 illus.
