From the front flap of this 352 page book: "For centuries, hope chests have been kept by young women and filled with treasured items they will need once they are married. Lingerie, linens, and jewelry, are just a few of the things a girl might collect. Heirloom sewing enthusiast Martha Pullen has taken the concept of the hope chest one step further. With four married sons, Martha anxiously awaited when she would be presented with her first grandchild. When her grandson Campbell came along in the spring of 1992, and she learned her second grandchild would arrive four months later, she thought to herself 'Why didn't I start making baby clothes years ago." With this came her idea for 'Grandmother's Hope Chest'. This book is to encourage mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, aunts, and even friends who invision babies in their futures to start work on layettes today. Many of the patterns and instructions included in this book call for French sewing, so Martha Pullen shares her vast knowledge in this art. Martha has pulled from her personal collection of antique baby clothing to give this book the ultimate heirloom flavor. The specifics of each dress, boy suit, and gown are described extensively for those of you who wish to reproduce them. Much of the antique detail has been adapted to the new christening gown designs to capture the turn-of-the-century look. The center of the book is graced with 48 pages of beautiful color photography. Each of the sixteen christening gown designs is captured in full detail, as well as several antique ones. Six smocking plates are shown in full-color. Martha calls these clothes 'love clothes'. That's really what these garments are, love clothes made for very special people."

Rear cover notes: "Silk ribbon treasures will certainly be your finished product when you use this book for inspiration. Martha Pullen offers you a complete encyclopedia of silk ribbon embroidery in combination with smocking, either silk ribbon or cotton floss. A beautiful child's dress pattern, Morgan Ross (sizes 2-10), has instructions for either a smocked front bodice or a plain fabric one. The back options offered are 'to the waist' or high yoke. There are six collar patterns to use with either dress variation. Twenty three smocking design plates will tickle your fancy as well as the sixteen other silk ribbon designs for collars and other projects. Fifty one silk ribbon embroidery stitches are clearly and simply illustrated so you will be able to stitch them in a jiffy. Smocking instructions are complete along with 'how to use' the smocking pleating machine. As if this weren't enough, a spectacular silk ribbon alphabet has been included to use on all types of projects from clothing to home decorating. Even if you are a first time silk ribbon embroiderer or smocker, you will find the instructions easy enough for you to achieve success!"
