Weldon's Encyclopedia of Needlework, The Waverly Book Co, hardback, circa 1930's, 876 pgs. Very good condition, treasured by someone for nearly 90 years. A gorgeous compendium of all the wonders that women routinely made for themselves and those they loved. Browse the needlework in wonder, but if you're wanting to teach yourself to knit or sew, make a quilt or a rug, this is still useful, well written and easy to understand. With lots of illustrations to aid understanding of the process. This is a book to own because it's useful but also to honour the amazing, creative lives of our grandmothers and beyond. Give it to your daughter or a grand-daughter or save it for yourself. A vintage treasure.
