About the Author: Margaret Swain
Margaret Swain has researched widely into the history of textiles, with a particulary interest in the social factors causing a certain type of needlework to be made at a given period, and published many articles on the historical background of textiles in Apollo, The Connoisseur, Country Life, The Times, Furniture History, Costume, and Embroidery.
Her books include The Flowerers (1955), Historical Needlework (1970), Figures on Fabric (1980), Ayrshire and other Whitework (1982), Scottish Embroidery: Medieval to Modern (1986), Embroidered Stuart Pictures (1990), and Embroidered Georgian Pictures (1994). Until her death in 2002, she advised and worked with institutions both in Britain and abroad,-- from Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh to the Metropolitan Museum in New York—to organize exhibitions of needlework and costume, and was a popular lecturer. In 1981 she received an honorary MA from Edinburgh University, and in 1989 an MBE for her work on embroidery and tapestries.
