Excerpt from Embroidery Stitches A point somewhat overlooked in Art Embroidery is the fact that each separate stitch is a design in itself. If this principle be fully recognised, the necessity for careful and systematic study of the forms and functions of Embroidery Stitches will immediately become obvious to the student and worker. Embroidery Stitches is planned with a View to facilitating reference, and to affording immediate conception of the inti mate connection between illustration and explanation. To attain this end, the illustrations are placed in uniform spaces throughout the volume, two on each page and in each case the description appears opposite its corresponding design.

Excerpt from The Embroidery Guide Though we are applying this beautiful design to a sofa pillow, it may be used on many other pieces. And as the patterns can be used not once, but a hundred or two hundred times, I feel as though we were starting a half dozen or more pieces.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Book of Old Embroidery There are two obvious points of view from which the consideration of the handicrafts may be approached - of the worker and of the user. In the case of embroidery these persons are often one and the same. In ancient and mediaeval times the dividing line was probably still harder to draw than it is now, and in an ideal state of things maker and user, worker and wearer, would be more closely identified than at present. There need be no fear that this would tend to depress any legitimate professional trade it would simply add to the amount of embroidery we should see around us and increase the general appreciation in which it would be held. It is for all alike. The most exalted names have added to their claim to remembrance and honour by their skill and interest in embroidery, and the work of the lowliest often merits a place of distinc tion, as many a peasant's frock or child's sampler bears witness (plates 11 and A tradition like this could be kept up, and there is no reason why it should not be done. The materials and implements needed are few, simple and inexpensive. Long and arduous training is of course needed in this, as in everything else, for the most accomplished work, and all honour to those who have devoted so much of their lives to the task. But a beginner's efforts, under due guidance, are Often admirable in their way. The help and encouragement of trained teachers and skilled amateurs, never more readily and ungrudgingly given than at the present time, are of much promise for the future.

Book Description
Excerpt from Exhibition of English Embroidery Executed Prior to the Middle of the XVI Century A description of these celebrated fragments is given in the catalogue (writing-room, Nos. 5 and but a few facts of interest in connection with their history should be briefly mentioned. Had these wonderful em broideries borne upon them no record of the date or the locality of their origin, it would have been hard to believe that such work could have been produced in anglo-saxon England. But the inscriptions which they bear, so fully explained through the exhaustive researches of Canon Raine, set both questions happily at rest. At the ends of the stole and maniple alike.

Book Description
Excerpt from English Embroidered Bookbindings Exhausting and futile struggle with France, Eng land was torn asunder by the wars of the Roses, and by the time these were ended the school of illumination, so full of promise, and seemingly SO firmly established, had absolutely died out. When printing was introduced England possessed no trained illuminators or skilful scribes such as in other countries were forced to make the best of the new art in order not to lose their living, nor were there any native wood-engravers ready to illustrate the new books. I have never myself seen or heard of a 'caxton' in which an illuminator has painted a preliminary border or initial letters even the rubrication, where it exists, is usually a disfigurement; while as for pictures, it has been unkindly said that inquiry whence they were obtained is superfluous, since any boy with a knife could have cut them as well.
