"Over several decades, Michéal and Elizabeth Feller have lovingly brought together and restored many fine pieces of needlework and in this publication of Volume 1 of their collection you too can appreciate some of that beauty that has inspired them. The authors' diligent research adds new dimensions to this collection, helping you to explore background, historical and literary contexts, stitching techniques and construction. The astonishing photography by Richard Holdsworth, FRPS, reveals detail that would otherwise be unremarked by the naked eye, allowing you to focus in, up close, and experience for yourself the particular mysteries of each piece." -- BOOK JACKETAcquisition
