Art in Needlework: A Book about Embroidery
Lewis Foreman Day and Mary, active 1900 Buckle
Every stitch has a character, argues designer Lewis F. Day, and choosing the right one is where art begins. With embroiderer Mary Buckle he works through crewel, chain, herring-bone and canvas stitches, showing what each does best, with a descriptive plate list to match. Craft instruction from the Arts and Crafts movement's own ranks. Thread a needle and think like a designer.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
