7-DG003 D.M.C. Alfabeto della Ricamatrice
A sadly incomplete version of the Embroiderers Alphabet, containing only covers, the last two cross-stitch plates, and all the advertisements. Later editions of the same title also contained whitework alphabets and borders. Since this is an early version, so are the publications mentioned in the advertisement. Not charted because those charts are available in other editions.
Scans donated by Dindi Gelfi, edited by Judith Adele.

FUNDRAISING

We are currently not actively soliciting donations, since New Media Arts is transitioning to foundation status.

If you would like to help us, 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 future donor base. Blogs, tiktok, instagram, pinterest, ravelry, facebook, other social media – show others your favorite publications and what you made using them. Our work is only useful when people actually use it!
