Enter the world of the one-room school to discover 12 delightful needlework lessons, all inspired by an early 19th century alphabet handkerchief. The mother and daughter-in-law team of Vickie LoPiccolo Jennett and Maegan Jennett captured the handkerchief's charm in projects that are both decorative and functional. A large alphabet sampler is accompanied by projects that decorate tote bags and backpacks, cover your e-reader and tote your tools. Vintage documents and images meld with a history-laden narrative to create a book that is as pleasant as it is useful.
