A pioneer of American textile design traces needlework in the New World, from the porcupine quillwork of the Plains peoples to the crewel bed-hangings of Puritan households, samplers and quilts, Moravian school work, and the Berlin woolwork craze. Wheeler then recounts the revival she helped lead through the Society of Decorative Art and closes with the Bayeux tapestry.
