TUDOR TREASURES TO
EMBROIDER
by Pamela Warner
Over 500 years ago, great wealth combined
with an explosion of artistic creativity to
produce England's first truly indigenous
fabric designs. Today, the Tudor style
continues to inspire fashion wherever people
desire elegance along with practicality.
Your own personal accessories and home decor
can incorporate elements of Tudor style with
the eleven basic projects included in this
book: from floral silk cushion covers, a
band sampler, linen place mats and coasters,
embroidered and beaded box lids, to beaded
evening bags. Beautifully photographed
finished projects combine with illustrated
stitch diagrams and instructions to lead you
through each step to a finished work. Paper,
full color, 192 pages, $18.00

Diligence, Industry and
Virtue: Samplers and Historic Embroideries
This newest 2002
exhibition catalog from Witney Antiques in
England chronicles 300 years of
samplermaking. It leads us away from the
usual
perception of samplers as merely decorative
art. Many verses on samplers reflect the
perceived feminine ideal, illustrating the
traditional values
and virtues taught from early childhood to
young womanhood. The exhibition runs from
October 14th until November 2nd. The
earliest examples date from the 17th
century, a journey ending over 100 years
ago. All the samplers are unique, and the
fact that often very young children were
able to produce such painstaking and
exacting work is indeed remarkable. 50 full
color illustrations, paper, $25.00
