"Embroidered Textiles"

I received the book by Sheila Paine, "Embroidered Textiles", that I mentioned in one of my previous posts. The book looks fabulous with wonderful photos. The following chapters are listed in the table of contents: Guide to identification, The decorative power of cult, Religion and its patterns, The magical source of protection, so I think it will be really very interesting to read. I have not had time to do more than quickly leaf through it but I can't wait to begin to read it. I will keep you posted!
