I also published another article in September's PieceWork "The Law of Crochet" about the May 1852 article by the same name in Britain's satirical Punch magazine.  It included a pattern I designed for an "Crotchet Castle" antimacassar (chairback).  both antimacassars and Thomas Love Peacock's satiricle book, Crotchet Castle are mentioned in "Law...".  I followed that up with further details about the "Law..." on my website: http://threadwinder.info/hist/Law.htm .

March's PieceWork will contain another of my articles---about patriotic knitting tools, not related to publications.

Thank you Faye, I have a extensive collection of antique needlework books and publication, including many Coats & Clark's booklets from the 1910s-1950s.  I do not collect Workbaskets, except when I find a pattern I like within them.  Do you collect or are you a dealer?

I am so excited.  My article on Flora Klickmann's needlework books (written 1912-1921) made the cover of May 2011 Piecework!  http://interweave.com/needle/piecework_magazine/default.asp

Also, do you know of any books with information on antique/vintage crochet hooks and/or thread holders/spool-knaves?  I think I have some general needlework collectibles books with a little bit, but nothing with any depth.

Hello again, I am looking for something very specific.  I mean miniature aprons sewn on the advertised sewing machine and advertising that sewing machine.  See the mini-aprons pictured in my album:  http://iantiqueonline.ning.com/photo/albums/sewing-machine-stitchery.  I want any information on them that I can find, identification, history, prices, anything...  My problem is, other than the article I wrote, I suspect little or none has been written on them.

Comment by Karen C.K. Ballard on December 21, 2010 at 2:21pm

I am particularly interested in anything that may have been published on miniature aprons (2.5"-5") advertising sewing machines.  I have looked all over, but haven't able to find anything.  I finally wrote a short blurb for Paper & Advertising Marketplace, which they tell me has been published in the January 2011 issue.  I have not seen it yet.

HI Diane, Thanks for the invite. That book looks wonderful. I think I want to get it for a Christmas present for a friend of mine! Thanks for the review!
