Mother Goose In Stitches

THORNE-THOMSEN, Kathleen

HRW.

Dust jacket notes: "Here is a delightful collection of more than thirty original patterns for cross-stitch and other needlepoints inspired by the classic story Alice in Wonderland and its traditional Tenniel illustrations. You'll be charmed and amused by all your favorite characters from the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, and the Mad Hatter to the March Hare, the Dormouse, and the Queen of Hearts. Using the same format as in her previous book, Mother Goose in Stitches, Kathleen Thorne-Thomsen offers easy-to-follow stitch instructions, basic projects, and her own original pattern designs. She thoroughly covers the basics of both cross-stitching on cloth and needlepointing on canvas and offers two basic projects that graphically show how to use these two elementary techniques. Both novice and experienced stitchers will delight in learning how to make the colorful and charming array of projects including a stuffed Dormouse toy, an Alice dress for a little girl, a Mad Hatter's tea cloth and napkin set, and a small embroidered quilt. Alice in Stitches contains illustrated instructions for all the stitches used; information on yarns, threads, fabrics, needles, and accessories; lists of materials needed for each project; and a Directory of Suppliers that covers both the United States and Canada. Beautiful color photographs of the finished projects complete this imaginative book."

Children's book author Kathleen Thorne-Thomsen introduces young readers and their parents to the Huntington, a former estate that now houses world-class collections of books, art, and plants. For kids who may never be able to visit the Huntington as well as those who will, this book offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the workings of a museum. Readers will also meet the owner of the estate, Henry E. Huntington, an early developer of Los Angeles, and learn something about daily life on what during Huntington's lifetime was a working ranch. Thorne-Thomsen gives complete directions for activities ranging from designing a bookplate to making a leaf quilt to organizing a collection of family photographs. Kids will also learn about the different kinds of jobs needed to run an institution that has collections ranging from plants to paintings. Those who have been on museum field trips may know what a docent is, but they will also learn what curators and conservators do to make sure that treasures from the past will last for years to come.

Gibbs-Smith

An engaging, kid-friendly exploration of America’s leading architect and his work
This revised and updated edition of a longstanding classic, Frank Lloyd Wright for Kids, details the life, times, and work of the celebrated architect. Through simple, kid-friendly prose and anecdotes, author Kathleen Thorne-Thomsen describes the influences of Wright’s Wisconsin childhood filled with nature, music, and close family ties; his struggles to find work as a young architect; the unique style that led him to the top of his profession; and masterpieces such as the Robie House, Hollyhock House, Fallingwater, the Guggenheim, and many others. Also discussed are Wright’s sometimes controversial private and public life and the people and times that influenced him and vice-versa, with new sidebars on topics such as the Chicago and Bauhaus schools of architecture, Friedrich Froebel and his toy blocks that enchanted Wright as a child, and the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Budding architects will delve into architectural and design concepts while having fun through 21 hands-on projects, such as creating an edible model of Fallingwater, making a miniature Japanese kite, reading an architectural plan, and much more. A time line, glossary, bibliography, and list of houses to visit are also included.
