Louisa F Pesel Historical Designs for Embroidery: Linen and Cross Stitch
 |
| Louisa F Pesel Historical Designs for Embroidery: Linen and Cross Stitch I manged to find a Issue 1 to add to my collection. The one in front is a newer version good for working with. Several of Pesel's "notebooks" are here brought together in a single volume. It consists of hundreds of embroidery patterns and motifs charted from historical samplers and other articles and annotated to aid the embroiderer. The main chapters are: double-running or backstitch; cross-stitch; canvas embroidery; leaves from an embroidery notebook. Louisa Pesel was a well-known embroiderer and designer who died in 1947. She was the author of several embroidery books, many published by Batsford  |

The pictures below are from our visit of the town & the Clitheroe Castle before they moved. When we return in July I plan to go back and see it again.         |

One of the year long projects of the Sampler Guild of the Rockies. I loved stitching this and was pleased how quickly it stitched up.Toni Gerdes Orchid Needlepoint
Janet in my Sampler Guild group gave me the privilege of helping her finish this lovely design. I almost forgot how much fun needlepoint can be.

Lap tray

| Found this wonderful computer laptray at Costco for under $12. My chart sits on it and has padded pillowy bottom. The padded front ridge holds my pencil and serves as a pin cushion also. A great addition to my sewing "tools". |
