| Here is a book that is truly different. It contains thirty-six embroidery designsfrom some of the finest teachers and designers of our time. Most of them arenationally known; this is the debut of one or two. On these pages are not only theirdesigns, but their thoughts on working them. Each is individually presented and hasthe imprint of the person whose work it is. Except where unusual stitches have been employed, stitch charts have notbeen included. There are many fine stitch books readily available. However, textand charts show where stitches are used. Color suggestions have also been in-cluded. Eleven different techniques are shown: crewel, canvas, blackwork, pulledthreads on both fabric and canvas, cross-stitch, silk and metallic threads in bothsecular and church work, stump work, white work, hedebo on both fabric andcanvas, and two designs showing a combination of techniques. I sincerely wi~h to thank these nineteen artists for allowing me to share withyou their exceptional talents. And my appreciation also goes to photographersJohn Ogden Studios, Charles Haralson, Loy Westbury, Harold Pratt, Chet Brickett,Bob Talley, Philip Bergh, Patricia Lambert, David Feisner, Helen Wilson Sherman,Lee Angle Photography Ltd., Armen Tachjian, AI LeClaire, Jan Thacher, HenryRorden, Photo Dynamics, Don Servais, Jack Kausch, and McKenzie Dickerson fortheir photographic expertise.
