Books in My Library: Florentine Embroidery by Barbara Snook, 1967

Florentine Embroidery by Barbara Snook, 1967

Lots of diagrams of some great patterns. I’m just not a fan of the cross-stitch type of diagrams. I do like seeing the bargello patterns combined with other canvas stitches.

Barbara’s other book, The Craft of Florentine Embroidery, also from 1967, is on the Bibliography from EGA’s Step 4 Master Craftsman (but I don’t have it).
