Product Description:
While 19th-century ladies might pass their time stitching complex needlework patterns in Berlin Wool Work, or copying William Morris designs, working-class women produced items of white work to supplement their income. From a patchwork tea cosy and a young boys dress to a history lesson stitched into a sampler, this publication presents a richly diverse range of embroidery samples - also incorporating diagrams of stitches - from the extensive collection of Rachel Kay-Shuttleworth, of Gawthorpe Hall, Lancashire.
