Jerusalem In Needlepoint and Embroidery

This 64 page hardcover book, published in 1972 features "eighteen memorable sites of Jerusalem in full color for cross-stitching with descriptions and detailed instructions." There are descriptions of each site, a color photo of its embroidery, and charts with DMC numbers. Jerusalem has been depicted pictorially innumerable times and in almost ever form imaginable. It is with great pleasure that Ann Roth introduces Jerusalem Art in an embroidered form. The embroidered sites in this book should be considered a direct continuation of the handicraft tradition from Biblical times. Patterns include: Arms of Jerusalem, The Madeba Map, The Knesset Menorah, The Western Wall, The Dome of the Rock, The Monastery of the Cross, Damascus Gate, The Pillar of Absalom, The Kennedy Memorial, View of the Old City, The Hebrew University Synagogue, The Chapel of the Flagellation, The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Via Dolorosa, The Citadel - Tower of David, The Church of All Nations, The Russian Cathedral, and The Windmill of Montefiore.
