Borders, edges, lampshade segments, curtains, motifs in all sizes. I rather like the cupids’ Four Seasons. There’s one motif done in various other stitches, and these are indicated by […]

Pesel – Double-running or Back-Stitch This is for lovers of blackwork and antique English samplers.

I-MV001 Parrot eating berries This scan was donated by Mark van der Voort, a colleague at my last place of employment. There were more colleagues helping with scanning, no doubt you’ll see more of their scans. This pattern shows a somewhat scruffy-looking parrot chained to a T-shaped […]
NEW PUBLICATIONS Go to http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org to see the new publications. H-ML018 Aunt Martha’s Workbasket Volume 2 Number 5 Let’s not forget the Workbaskets! A Japanese Lantern quilting block, and several crochet projects: a plaid blouse, a sweater-and-helmet set, and a four-piece baby set. As so many other items, it was nearly, nearly ready – so this is […]
NEW PUBLICATIONS Go to http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org to see the new publications. I-CK001 Coral Circle A small newspaper cutting, from quite an old newspaper, with this pattern – a circular design of coral branches on black, and in the centre a small round coral design that can be used independently, maybe for a pincushion or similar small item. The […]
NEW PUBLICATIONS Go to http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org to see the new publications. I have changed the programming to make the most recent publication the top one. It used to be all publications in one publication round and then it did not matter which was first, but with this incremental adding of publications life’s easier if the latest is the […]
NEW PUBLICATIONS Go to http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org to see the new publications. This is B-YS010, a flower wreath pattern designed by A. Todt, Berlin, number 6011. On doing administrative duties, I saw again that this pattern still had not been charted. Since we now have better resources than in 2011, when the pattern was first published, I decided to […]
NEW PUBLICATIONS Go to http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org to see the new publications. A single publication has been added, more or less by accident. After publishing earlier this week, I noticed that the fundraising banner did not point to the page for this year. Of course that’s easy to correct – re-upload. But in the meantime this publication was already […]
NEW PUBLICATIONS Go to http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org to see the new publications. Two lovely patterns, each representing a different type. One is a floral border so floral that nearly no room remains in the middle, and the other a geometrical border with a floral motif in the centre. The original items were partly embroidery, partly beadwork. Images donated by […]
