Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Drawn thread work is a form of decorative embroidery that has been practised for many centuries. Traditionally worked on fine linen, it achieves its effect through the contrast of open and closed areas created by removing threads from the fabric. In this study, the author has borne in mind the traditional aspects of the craft, but also pays attention to the exciting and experimental innovations of recent years. An introductory section explains the foundations of drawn thread work, how to withdraw stitches and secure ends. Different stitch types and various borders are then examined, illustrated with line drawings and photographs throughout. As well as basic techniques such as ladder and zigzag hems, more experimental styles, including working with colour and weaving with fabric strips, provide plenty of new design ideas. Chapters on the many thread techniques - needleweaving, reticella, Russian drawn ground, Hedebo and Hardanger - continue the exploration of both new and old approaches. A final section on experimental machine work provides many new ideas for modern embroidery. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

The book examines the place of monasteries in the landscape - how they affected and were affected by the countryside in which they were built.

The book also examines the consequences of the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII, when many monastic estates and buildings were bought by private owners and adapted for secular use.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Nigel Rees presents a nostalgic and witty guide to wartime catchphrases, from the now ubiquitous 'Keep Calm and Carry On' to lesser-known gems such as 'lions led by donkeys'. Following his hugely popular survey of domestic sayings, More Tea Vicar?, Rees returns with a witty and fascinating examination of the catchphrases that saw us through wartime Britain and are still relevant in times of crisis today. Including domestic phrases of the time, propaganda, and slang developed by soldiers abroad, the book describes the provenance and development of these intriguing, quirky and sometimes crude phrases that were born out of times of conflict and have in many cases become part of our language.
