It is a great example of needlework and history, hand in hand. The book opens a window on another time and another place. The time is the turn of the twentieth century and the place is London, England. In an effort to bring needlework to a then emerging middle class, several companies in the late 1800's in London began publishing patterns and instructions for various needlework projects. Unlike other magazines of their time these publications were devoted solely to needlepoint. Weldon's was one of the most recognized needlework publishers in Victorian England. Each volume consists of 12 issues or one years worth of publications and is filled with hundreds of vintage projects, illustrations, information on little-known techniques, fashion as it was in the late 1800s.
