Synopsis
The joint efforts of the Peabody Essex Museum, the American Embroiders' Guild, and PieceWork magazine have resulted in this lavish collection of stunning contemporary needlework projects based on four centuries of American embroidery. Motifs have been taken from this historical collection and translated into fashion and home accessories and heirloom keepsakes, complete with step-by-step instructions. Weaving together women's domestic history with contemporary design techniques, the 24 projects include scarves, shawls, purses, and table runners. The history of each piece and its maker is included, along with photographs of the original pieces.

From Library Journal
Following much the same format as that of Piecework magazine (a contemporary magazine that combines the history of textile arts and crafts with modern needlework projects), this volume honors the needlework of the past by giving modern needleworkers an opportunity to relive the experience of embroiderers in earlier times. Included are 24 contemporary cross-stitch, needlepoint, and other projects, each based on a piece in the collection of the Peabody Exeter Museum. The projects are based on historic pieces without attempting to duplicate them, and in most cases the original is far more ambitious than the modern rendering. The stories and full-color photos of the original pieces will interest stitcher and nonstitcher alike. Unfortunately, while the contemporary projects are shown close-up, the historical pieces are photographed from a greater distance, making it difficult to see the details of the embroidery. Nevertheless, this title is highly recommended for textile and American studies collections in public and academic libraries.
