The words of Proverbs, Chapter 31 describe the woman of noble character. So must be the characterization of the needle artists whose vintage embroidery appears in this book. "The vintage woman's hands were eager to stitch; she was skilled and worked hard; she had a green thumb; she was a steward and economist; and of course, she was creative". The gardner and stitcher alike will delight in this medley of over 35 embroidery projects.
