I have just received the most wonderful book from Amazon. "18th Century Embroidery Techniques" by Gail Marsh, (ISBN 1 86108 476 5) and am drooling as I type.
The pictures are clear, and there are diagrams. It includes silk embroidery, metal thread and spangles, whitework, quilting, tambour and chain, crewel and novelty threads,Hollie Point and knotting!!
I know there will be other list members interested. I'm back to my cup of tea and the book. Suzi _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
