Books on CD – We Now Have Four!

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Please visit our home page, Quilter’s Muse Publications, to see how easily you can now navigate to separate pages, each of which presents an overview of one of our four books currently offered.

To see the colorful colors of the book covers, together, makes me feel proud of the extreme amount of work I have done to bring quality information to the public about quilt and embroidery history and about historical people. Come to think of it, I have written two other Redwork books, and a biography of my own father that could be converted to CD, at any time. There is always something more to do, and that is what I like about being a quilt historian and active quiltmaker who relishes in saving stories, designs, and our knowledge of the past.

Thanks for being a reader of this blog. This post is more or less a custodial one. Nothing earthshaking happening today, at least not in New Hampshire. I just wanted to alert you to the fact that we have brought a very popular book back into print, via CD: Redwork Embroidery and Needlework Traditions in Europe and America, at half the cost of the original published price. It is helpful not to have to slave over printing out pages, binding books, and schlepping them to the post office. I tend to write very long (read: “heavy”) volumes, and creating CDs is the way to go for us.

Have a wonderful day!

Redwork Embroidery and Needlework Traditions in Europe and America is currently available to acquire as a pdf file written to a CD disc that is easily inserted into a computer’s hard drive and read on any computer.

There are 147 pages and 165 images (including photos of finished items and design patterns that you could re-create with needle and thread).

This book covers a wide variety of topics related to Redwork motifs and their usage in the 19th and 20th centuries.
