~~~ An excerpt from the booklet include:
"This kind of work is know under two heads, Italian Punto tirato and Italian
Punto tagliato, and comprises all needle-work where the drawing out of threads
is a preliminary step to be followed by sewing over the single threads that
remain and drawing them together in different ways, producing a great variety of
pretty patterns. The Punto tirato open-work is where the threads are drawn out
only one way of the fabric. The Punto tagliato is where the treads of both warp
and woof are drawn out. Beautiful combinations of this open-work with
cross-stitch and other kinds of ornamental stitches elsewhere described, will be
found easy of execution by the careful worker."

~~~ This is a CD REPRODUCTION of an 1888
Victorian source on "Drawn Work." The COPY you will receive is representative of
the types of needlework expertise of earlier feminine American culture!!! If
you're into nostalgia like I am you will have quite the pleasure in making
antique Victorian drawn work (needlework) items for yourself or others dear to
your heart just the way your great-grandmothers did!
~~~ Something to think about: This is now
the time of year for the creative people to work on their sewing, needlework,
crochet, knitting, embroidery, bead and other arts/hobbies prior to the hliday
season. I find, for myself, that this period is about the only playtime during
the whole year for my hobbies and that this playtime dwindles dramatically
during the rest of the year. If we don't play now we might not have
many opportunities before this time next year...
