Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
According to data from the Miniatures Industry Association of America, there are more than 300,000 miniatures collectors in the United States today. Many of these collectors concentrate on dollhouses from a particular historical period and search for home furnishings from that era. Warner's third book of historically accurate projects for miniature embroidery covers the period in English history from the middle of the 16th to the end of the 17th century. Canvas work and stump work were very popular in the upper echelons of British society, and the embroidery threads of choice were often made of silk and metal. Warner includes a number of patterns for bed hangings, covers, and pillows as well as screens, pictures, carpets, wall hangings, and samplers. Some of the techniques covered include needlepoint, crewel, stump work, and black work. An accomplished needlework teacher and embroidery restorer, Warner based the projects featured in this book on pieces found in museums. This is not for beginning embroiderers, but experienced miniature needleworkers will be thrilled with this offering. For historical textile collections and large public libraries.
