A Stitch Out Of Time: 14th & 15th Century German Counted Thread Embroidery by Timothy J. Mitchell

The embroidery of the Medieval period was composed of a wide variety of beautiful styles. Some are well known, while some are largely ignored by the modern needleworker. This publication delves into an early type of counted thread work, dating from the early 14th to the mid 15th centuries, which combines striking patterns with simple execution. It is a type of embroidery that is both simple enough to be easily learned by a beginner and beautiful enough to interest the most advanced needleworker. This book contains a discussion of the history of the style, a detailed step-by-step description of how to work this type of embroidery, graphed patterns and notes on ten pieces and a discussion of how you can create your own designs.
