I am a big fan of Sylvia Sidney's needlepoint books, so when I found this profile of her life, I wanted to share it.

Here is her first book. It's the best in my opinion--full of personal charm, not stitch diagrams.

I have this book and love it. What a talented woman she was. Thank you for posting this profile.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. I'm a big fan, too. Some folks have amazing lives!
DeleteHers was one of my first needlepoint books. I didn't even know she had a movie career! Thanks, Jane, for the links.
ReplyDeleteShe had quite a career apparently. Most was a bit before our time but I think she's been pretty influential in the world of needlepoint.
DeleteI have always loved old movies and she was one of my favorite actresses. Her needlepoint book (borrowed from the public library) really got me started on my needlepoint obsession. I borrowed it so often, my husband suggested I just buy a copy. Long out of print by the '80s, I paid $50 to a book finding service to track one down for me. I have both of her books and still enjoy them. Thank you for sharing this!
