tidies, and clothes for the
classiest of homes and families!

other materials on eBay! You just have to search a little bit! :) Or, you can

illustrations!

beautiful, dainty, colorful decorative soft home furnishings and fabric items
for you and yours, as gifts or to sell!

characteristic of the fancy work done
by our oh-so-feminine lady ancestors during the Victorian, Edwardian and Titanic eras! This
is the perfect opportunity to purchase your own version of another wonderful arts
and craft book revealing our heritage from early America and
Europe!
Excerpts:
"The empty spaces produced in linen by grouping togehter with stitches sevral threads, isolated by the drawing out of warp or woof threads or both, constitutes what is known as "drawn thread work".
By grouping together and covering the isolated threads with different
stitches the most varied combinations and the richest paggern can be produced,
suitable either as sole decoration or as a finish to cross stitch or other
embroidery."
"The patterns of modern work
of this kind are very similar to certain lace patterns, they resemble the American ones
and contain, like these, stitches and figures often employed in the
Teneriffe lace.
