Church needlework; a manual of practical instruction
A practical manual of church embroidery and needlework by Hinda M. Hands, published in London by G.J. Palmer in 1907 for those learning to stitch ecclesiastical work. The pictures are line diagrams and drawn designs: a cut-out vestment panel with measurements, a stylised acanthus-like border, a gabled panel of interlaced scrolls with swastika-like motifs, and a close-up of couched cord and stitch structure, useful for designers seeking historical ornament and stitch patterns.
