Needlework Patterns from The Met

Needlework Patterns from The Metropolitan Museum of Art by Susan Siegler

Susan Siegler, Supervisor of Special Projects at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, carefully selected 24 textiles from the Museum's collection and faithfully adapted them in crewel and needlepoint. All of the patterns presented in the book were inspired by tapestries and embroideries in the Museum's collection and represent the great range of designs produced by needleworkers throughout the centuries. Each pattern presented gives the detail of the historical piece from which it was adapted. An exquisite collection of historical patterns.
