Deerfield Embroidery by Margery Burnham Howe

This is the story of the Deerfield Society of Blue and White Needlework whose two founders first revived American colonial embroidery in 1896, and continued until 1926. The society adapted eighteenth century embroideries exhibited in Memorial Hall Museum in Deerfield, Massachusetts for their early designs. Soon after their founding, the Society was inspired by designs found in nature, artwork, and the decorative arts. This book covers the history of Deerfield embroidery, illustrates the patterns, explains the stitches, and tells how to reproduce the lovely vegetable dye colors. 232 pages ($45.00/hard cover) ($6.00 shipping).

Also available is the Blue and White Society design Cocktail Napkins (20-3 ply) for $3.00
