THE HOME PATTERN BOOK OF NEEDLECRAFT by Joan Fisher
Apart from knitting, crochet and macrame, the book covers the many ways of doing embroidery : free embroidery, counted thread, needlepoint, florentine, smocking, applique, patchwork and quilting. A section is devoted to each of the five major needlecrafts, and gives clear instructions for every stitch, knot and technique, supported by specially drawn diagrams. Traditional motifs and modern designs in all the needlecrafts are illustrated, and each section includes a number of attractive complete patterns for a wide range of useful items.
