Animals have been popular subjects for needlework throughout the ages and this book has examples that show animals in detail on the original needlework pieces. The author explains their pattern sources and then goes on to discuss the materials and techniques used so that modern embroiderers can recreate or adapt them. The book describes their role through the different embroidery fashions and includes many drawings, charts and ideas for incorporating animals into embroideries - plus many patterns from 16th- and 17th-century embroideries, medieval bestiaries and pattern books. For every era, there is a new embroidery stitched by Sarah Don, with detailed description of stitches and materials used.

Nowadays, food is "manufactured," imported, and marketed for convenience and year-round availability. For anyone who knows the difference between a supermarket tomato in January and one fresh from the garden in July, FROM THE GARDEN TO THE TABLE is a welcome account of a family's quest to grow and eat their own fruit, vegetables, and herbs. FROM THE GARDEN TO THE TABLE celebrates the vital link between growing, cooking, and eating food. For Monty and Sarah Don, the process of preparing a meal begins with thinking about what seeds to buy. Food is grown and cooked in one continuous process and with one common goal-enjoyment. This highly original book contains clear and detailed instructions on how to cultivate and cook a wide range of herbs, vegetables, and fruits. Accompanied by full-color photographs that chronicle a year in their kitchen and garden, it aims to inspire food lovers to integrate their gardens and kitchens wherever they live and whatever their taste in food, as well as promoting a timely and appealing style of living.
