  1. Thank you for this great resource! My daughter, Molly, and I are continuing our homeschooling embroidery unit and are devouring all the resources we can find. We found one book at our local Library titled -Needlework School- by the Embroiderers’ Guild Practical Study Group with a foreword by Constance Howard. It was published in the 80’s and is mostly black & white, but what a great resource in one spot. I was particularly pleased to find a book I can hold in my hand that is not one of these new-fangled, glitzy project driven handbooks. This is a meaty, college level text book. The best thing – I found a copy on Amazon for 40 cents plus shipping! Does anyone know of other books out there like this?
