"This beautiful collection of "278 Cross-stich charts from countries along the Danube" will be a valuable companion for every student of the history of art, crafts and design, for libraries of Folk museums, public libraries, colleges, schools and institutes. It should be found on the birthday table of every embroideress. To give some examples of the variety of patterns which Maria and Andreas Foris collected may we quote just a few motives they discovered: Of flowers and foliage: tulip, rose, oak leaf, muscatel and vine leaf motives; Of birds: pigeons, peacock and peacock feather motives; Candlestick, "Chinese cloud", dragon and heart forms. For our English issue, Heinz Edgar Kiewe has written a short study of the countries of origin and the migration of the patterns. He has added where possible the dates of the earliest known prototypes in mediaeval 'Model Embroidery' books. The pattern charts are most useful for counted thread embroidery, for tapestry, embroidery and tapestry rug designs and most helpful for working groups doing ecclesiastical embroidery. Fair Isle knitters and Filet crocheters too will be enthusiastic purchasers of the choice collection of 278 charts."
