CD Republication

Originally Published in 1909!

 

If you are the first to bid on this auction, using the buy-it-now option, YOU WIN! There is no chance of being outbid! DON'T WAIT!

 

Up for bid is a CD Republication of the original "Stitches in Embroidery" written by Mme Du Parque, circa 1909! This is a lovely embroidery stitch instruction book for the lovers of the silk, linen or cotton floss needlearts! The experienced needlecraft and fancywork artesians of the late 1800's (Victorian era) to early 1900's (Edwardian era) clamoured for this type of item and with good reason! (Original is NOT for sale)

This HISTORIC book contains many steel plate etchings, embroidery and needlework instructions, designs and fundamentals for creating the extremely handsome soft furnishings of the Victorian era! I have also included 24 FULL-PAGE SIZED ANTIQUE embroidery doily and center piece pattens! You will also find historical facts on this ancient craft as well as various RARE and UNIQUE guidelines to assist you along the way to recreating the needleworked items of a classy and gentile society!

 

Here is an OLD, ANTIQUE, RESOURCEFUL AND EXCEPTIONAL embroidery instructional and design book on CD-ROM. These instructions are characteristic of the fancy work done by our oh-so-feminine lady ancestors during the Victorian era! This is the perfect opportunity to purchase your own version of another wonderful craft book revealing our heritage from early America and Europe!
