A series of Needlework Mysteries, by Monica Ferris |
Framed in Lace
by Monica Ferris
When the historic Hopkins ferry was raised from the bottom of the lake, who would have thought they were literally raising the dead! But there it was - a skeleton - right before their eyes. Unfortunately, the evidence is slim and soggy: The boat sank in 1949, the victim on board was a woman, and near the body is a piece of unidentifiable lacelike fabric. Sounds like a job for Betsy Devonshipe. Betsy knows there's more to this story than what's on the surface. And once she and patrons of her needlecraft shop start lending a hand, they're sure to
stitch together the details of this unnerving mystery . . . $5.99 (in a series).

CHANGING STYLES: THE EIGHTEENTH
CENTURY
100 YEARS OF SAMPLER MAKING
This newest exhibition at Witney Antiques focuses on the
evolution of sampler styles throughout the eighteenth
century. The catalogue charts this development from the
emerging importance of women's literacy, the influence
of moral excellence on young minds, the period of
pastoral and bucolic infatuation, and the growth in
popularity of the needle arts as practiced in
fashionable boarding schools for young ladies.
The catalogue is illustrated in
full color, with many previously unpublished and
unrecorded samplers, including a very rare and unique
group of eight Scottish family samplers, spanning a
period of forty years. The cover is illustrated below,
as well as some details from the book itself.
Price $50.00.
