The ultimate resource for Arts & Crafts textiles

This book is the finest of its kind. While other books on the period touch on textiles, this is the only book dedicated to the subject. For anyone decorating an Arts & Crafts home or with an interest in period design or creative needlework, it is the ultimate resource. The author not only knows her subject intimately, but presents the information in a clear and exceptionally readable style. As a designer specializing in period interiors, this book is one that I will suggest to my clients again and again!
