Diaper patterns have been of particular interest to Ann since she chose the topic as her research area for teacher certification in 1980. Her pamphlet titled The Analysis of Diaper Patterns has become a well-respected source for the proper identification of this unique category of allover needlework patterns and her new book explores the subject further by providing the following:

• Chapter on the Proper Identification of Diaper Patterns
• Chapter on Designing Diaper Patterns from Different Sources of Inspiration.
• Chapter on Techniques for Developing Efficient and Tidy Stitch Sequences for Composite Patterns
• Comparisons of Different Dominances in Identical Patterns Achieved with Simple Changes in Color and Value Contrasts.
• Discussion of the Relativity of Color and Methods to Avoid Color Interaction in Diaper Patterns.
• Chapter of Diverse Original Patterns with Complete Stitch Sequences

CD Also Included with Full Color Illustrations of the Following:

• Examples of Identical Patterns Stitched with Different Contrasts to Provide Clear Distinctions Between Diapers, Groundings or Stripes
• Examples of Both Tent and Texture Stitch Patterns
• Examples of Diaper Pattern Projects from the Canvas Master Craftsman Program of The Embroiderers' Guild of America
• Examples of Diaper Pattern Use in Original Designs from a Selection of Featured Artists
