The Complete International Book of Embroidery

The Complete International Book of Embroidery by Mary Gostelow

The Complete International Book of Embroidery presents an exquisite array of needlework designs with which people around the world have traditionally decorated their clothing and textiles. Each of the chapters takes up a particular geographical location including Cuna, Quiche, Quechua, Nazca, the British Isles, the Netherlands, France, Portugal, Madeira and Africa to name a few. The history of embroidery in each locale is told in rich detail. This is a magnificent treasury of embroidery.
