In this collection of Embroidery Stitches, I have endeavoured to place before those artists who are interested in needlecraft an exposition of the most useful and artistic stitches that have formed a part of my own work during several years' study and practice of Art Embroidery. Some of these will be familiar to Needle-artists: others will serve to exemplify how, in process of working, fresh stitches may be evolved from old ones or how, when originality gains ground, entirely new stitches become apparent and workable.Keywords: Embroidery Stitches New Stitches Art Embroidery Needle Artists Needlecraft Originality Exposition Exemplify

This book presents the hypothesis that the Bayeux tapestry, long believed to have been made in England, came from the Loire valley in France, from the abbey of St. Florent of Saumur. This is based on a number of different kinds of evidence, the most important of which is signs of a St. Florent/Breton influence in the portrayal of the Breton campaign in the tapestry, about a tenth of the whole.
