Needlepoint in America

Needlepoint in America by Hope Hanley

A delightful addition to every embroiderer's library, this is both a history and a "how-to-do-it" book. Hope Hanley, author of the best-selling Needlepoint and herself a collector of embroidery tools, patterns and actual pieces has made a detailed and carefully researched study of old needlework books and ladies' magazines as well as of worked examples in museums and private collections. Included are both the story of the designs, the materials and the sewing tools employed and diagrams and directions for more than a dozen long-forgotten old stitches are given.
