A Guide to help a child learn to Stitch

This brief and well-illustrated book captivated my 8 year-old and me. Together we learned some basic crewel stitches, and my daughter went on to create a lovely yet simple miniature altar cloth for a book report about 'Josefina' from the American Girl Series. It remains a staple in the how-to section of our bookshelf. It's a wonderful way for a mother and child to spend time together reading, learning and stitching.

10 Stars! This book is a TREASURE!

For anyone who has a love of history and the exploration of "the arts and mysteries of housewifery" this book is a must! The book contains useful and educational projects that will be loved by young and old. A Colonial Wall Pocket, Weaving Loom, Cross-Stitch Place Card, Computer Sampler, A Friendship Battledore and much, much more are included in this slim volume packed not just with projects, but the meaning behind them. If you are a lover of crafts and history -- and if you would like to make items that will be treasured by generations to come, please buy this book for yourself and extra copies for friends. You will not be disappointed!
