Passionate about HISTORICAL QUILTING, EMBROIDERY & NEEDLEWORK RE-CREATION?
An excerpt:
"Where is no work more popular at the present time than Oriental or "crazy" work; though I don't think there has ever been a book printed with designs in stitches for ornamenting it. I have tried to put all the prettiest ones I could design in this book, and do not think they will need much explanation, though to the benefit of beginners I will explain all I can. Some very handsome work is being done in black silk pieces, put together the same as the ordinary crazy work, and the stitches put on in the same way...You will find a variety of stitches and designs on the colored plate not in the book that will give you some idea how to finish off corners...These directions are only for those who have not made any of this work. The stitches on the following pages need very little explanation, as those that are numbered are all very simple, and are only put in that it may be more convenient for you to make the others by referring to them."
Typical Victorian era handiwork presentation and why the images were commonly called "studies."
