About this book

Plain and Fancy: American Women and Their Needlework, 1650-1850 by Susan B Swan. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780963333131.

Plain and Fancy is a thorough and thoughtful survey of two hundred years of American needlework – from the second half of the seventeenth century into the Victorian era. More than a catalog of embroidery forms, the text explores the social history of the women who created this wonderful needlework, which was their primary and most acceptable creative outlet.
