Synopsis:

Many of the designs are taken from original pieces of stitching while others are adapted from genuine Victorian magazines and pattern books. The wide range of delightful projects includes: decoupage Christmas baubles, beadwork earrings, a patchwork cot quilt, lacework cushions, a traditional Christening gown, an embroidered pillow case, a needlepoint footstool, shellwork Valentines, a quilting picture and boxes, paper-lace picture mounts and dried flower displays under glass. Each craft is described in complete step-by-step detail, providing easy projects for beginners and ideas to tempt the more experienced craftsperson. And, throughout, there are gorgeous colour photographs with antique settings and accessories, which evoke the Victorian atmosphere and show the great potential of the designs as family heirlooms and desirable gifts.
