FUNDRAISING NOW! – Goal: 6000 USD – So far 2793.72 USD – 3206.28 USD to go!
Donate now to support the Antique Pattern Library project to pay for such things as database and website development, web hosting costs, data entry, scanning equipment, and help us meet the public funding ratio, which allows us to keep our nonprofit status, making your donations tax-deductible, depending on where you live and on the local tax laws and tax treaties.
If you can’t afford to give anything, which also happens in these difficult times, introducing the Library to people who don’t know of it yet, is very useful, since it broadens our user base and therefore also our donor base.

Scans donated by M. Leigh Martin, edited by Sytske Wijnsma. Published with kind permission of F+W Media, the current copyright holder.
Also, two links have been added to selected publications on archive.org. These two are trade catalogs for floor tiles and wall tiles, around 1900. Great inspiration for mosaic, applique, embroidery, leaded glass, and maybe also for floor patterns, if similar tiles would still be available. Links suggested by Franciska Ruessink.
