Book excerpt: For centuries Hungarian village and peasant craftsmen and women have practiced the folk art of decorating embroidery, furniture, walls, pottery and paintings with regional motifs. Each motif is peculiar to one of the numerous ethnic and geographic areas comprising modern Hungary. Anne Szalavary's mother collected authentic designs from every corner of that country, and the author has adapted over 250 of them for use by embroiderers, woodworkers, and other craftspeople.
