Reseña del editor

Spin a thread of fantasy and enchantment! These magnificent embroideries have their source in legends in which needlework plays a magical role. From Greek mythology comes Ariadne's yarn, which guided Theseus through the perilous Minoan maze. In the Celtic tale of Bran's journey to the blessed islands, supernatural strands draw his ship to shore. Other needlework features blithe spirits, nature, and sacred places. Many include semi-precious stones. Techniques are effortlessly explained, and designs are lovingly interpreted from ceramics and architecture.
