Hedebo and Eyelet Embroidery c.1905
24 Pages. The objective of this book is to teach various sorts of white embroidery and needle lace known as Hedebo and Eyelet embroidery. Hedebo work takes its name from the little Danish town where it originated. It is made with the finest linens and thread and it resembles the old Italian Reticella laces. Eyelet embroidery is a form of Madeira work that has been modernized with unique designs and other peculiar innovations. This book contains concise instruction in making this embroidery, using large clear photographs and diagrams showing how to make the stitches. There are many many examples of Hedebo in this book, with details images of most of them - far more than I have room to show here. This book is a fascinating study and a treasure for the library of anyone who loves and makes this beautiful form of embroidery! REPRODUCTION
