Introduction. The needle arts in Connecticut -- Appendix. The Stoddard-Williams-Edwards tradition -- Connecticut Historical Society collection.

Summary: "From barefoot apostles to quilted mermaids, the needle-work in this book surprises and enlightens anyone who thinks the history of early American women has all been written."--Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, autor of The Age of Homespun Objects and Stories in the Creation of an American MythSummary: "This selection of needlework from the Connecticut Historical Society, enhanced by Schoelwer's thorough scholarly analysis of materials, designs, imagery, and use, establishes needlework as an important part of the visual culture of eighteenth-and nineteenth-century America. Whether worn, framed on the wall, or used as bed covers, needle work was seen by generations of families and friends. This is a model for further needlework studies."--Georgia B. Barnhill, American Antiquarian SocietySummary: "Connecticut Needlework is Susan Schoelwer's third remark-able book in scarcely a decade and a comprehensive catalog of inestimable value to collectors and curators. It is a seminal work of incredible depth that projects women's domestic art into the pantheon of invaluable cultural documents."--Sumpter Priddy, author of American Fancy: Exuberance in the Arts, 1790--1840 --Book Jacket
