Hey, gang ....

I added another older book to my form letter(s) on Needlework Reference 
Books. The entry is below (in case you're interested in adding it to your 
copy). Or if you're new to this listserve and want the entire list of books, 
send me a private e-mail with the following information:

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: NEEDLEWORK REFERENCE BOOKS (in two parts)  

Please send each request in a SEPARATE e-mail and make sure the subject line 
is in ALL CAPS. It helps me to process this mail much more quickly. Also, 
only private mail will be honored; I do not respond to requests posted to the 
list.

Review by Margaret Davaz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

This is another of the older books that I received from my mom's collection. 
This treasury is one of those all-purpose reference books that includes a 
little bit of everything and a short history of needlework. As the title 
implies, it emphasizes the "learn-and-make-it" approach with instruction for 
each stitch or technique alongside illustrations and photos. 

Included are sections on: embroidery, quilts, rugs, knitting, crochet, 
tatting, small looms and laces, technical aids. Expansive table of contents. 
Comprehensive index.

The embroidery section includes the following:
Crewelwork, basic stitches, ornaments, flower prints, embroidery on ticking, 
canvas work (needlepoint and cross-stitch), monogramming, openwork, cutwork, 
drawn thread work, Teneriffe embroidery, Hardanger, fagoting, embroidery on 
net, smocking, huck embroidery, applique, machine embroidery, and beading.
