This richly illustrated book emphasizes the art inherent in embroidery and contextualizes the examples within aesthetic movements. The objects and designs are myriad: pictoral embroidery, wool and cotton sailor's pants embroidered with a running whorl stitch resembling tattoo art.

Painted with Thread presents a breathtaking array of historic American needlework." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Preface and acknowledgments, by Dan L.
