Book excerpt: "This beautiful collection of "278 Cross-stich charts from countries along the Danube" will be a valuable companion for every student of the history of art, crafts and design, for libraries of Folk museums, public libraries, colleges, schools and institutes. It should be found on the birthday table of every embroideress. To give some examples of the variety of patterns which Maria and Andreas Foris collected may we quote just a few motives they discovered: Of flowers and foliage: tulip, rose, oak leaf, muscatel and vine leaf motives; Of birds: pigeons, peacock and peacock feather motives; Candlestick, "Chinese cloud", dragon and heart forms. For our English issue, Heinz Edgar Kiewe has written a short study of the countries of origin and the migration of the patterns. He has added where possible the dates of the earliest known prototypes in mediaeval 'Model Embroidery' books. The pattern charts are most useful for counted thread embroidery, for tapestry, embroidery and tapestry rug designs and most helpful for working groups doing ecclesiastical embroidery. Fair Isle knitters and Filet crocheters too will be enthusiastic purchasers of the choice collection of 278 charts."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Needlework serves functional purposes, such as providing warmth, but has also communicated individual and social identity, spiritual beliefs, and aesthetic ideals throughout time and geography. Needlework traditions are often associated with rituals and celebrations of life events. Often-overlooked by historians, practicing needlework and creating needlework objects provides insights to the history of everyday life. Needlework techniques traveled with merchants and explorers, creating a legacy of cross-cultural exchange. Some techniques are virtually universal and others are limited to a small geographical area. Settlers brought traditions which were sometimes re-invented as indigenous arts. This volume of approximately 75 entries is a comprehensive resource on techniques and cultural traditions for students, information professionals, and collectors.
