“Whimsies
in the Sewing Room” Book
by
Frances Graves
This
fascinating book was written by a noted
collector of sewing tools. She shares pieces from her extensive
collection, some extremely rare and others relatively easy to
find.
She gives lots of history and dating information for the examples she
shows. It is profusely illustrated with excellent color photos.
It’s soft
cover, 53
pages and
measures 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″. Published in the US in 1997 by Thimble
Collectors International. This copy is in like new condition
with tight, intact pages and no marks. It’s nice because it shows items
not seen in other needlework tool reference books.

presented.
