An excerpt:

"This book will show you haw simply and quickly Hardanger can be done and how very effectively it can be applied to curtains, beadspreads, antimacassars, dressing table scarfs, doilies, sota cushin tops, etc.

Hardanger embroidery takes its name from the little town of Hardanger on the fiord of that name in wester Norway. The work in its original form is very old, as long aga in Pesia and Asia it was worked in colored silks on a very fine gauze netting. The work is easily done, and is not trying to the eyes or nerves."
