A Woman's Book on Stitchwork

This is not just a man's book on a woman's subject. The scheme of it is mine and I have written it, but with the cooperation throughout of Miss Mary Buckle. Our classification of the stitches is the result of many a conference between us. She has primed me with technical information, and been always at hand to keep me from technical error. With reference to design and art, I speak for myself. My thanks are due to the authorities at South Kensington for allowing us to handle the treasures of the National Collection and to photograph them for illustration.
