Download or read book Victorian Charted Patterns for Motifs Borders written by Susan Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These delicate, softly shaded designs are timeless and very likely more modern than you'd expect from Victorian needlework. Most are adapted from traditional European folk needlework patterns used for clothing and home decoration. This collection is reproduced from German textile designer Friedrich Fischbach's work titled "Stickerei-Muster" (embroidery patterns) published around 1890. The patterns were printed in full color on small cards gathered into portfolios. The original cards measured only a few inches and the charts have been enlarged for easier use. Many of these charts use whole stitches, making them suitable for both needlepoint and cross stitch. Others are worked almost entirely in backstitches to produce airy, ornate patterns of Blackwork-like filigree. Designs charted on graph paper are a universal language, with each square on the pattern representing a single stitch. Basic counted thread stitches begin on page 50, and a page of graph paper is included as an aid to help you create your own projects. These charts are reproduced from the original antiques, and some signs of age and wear will be visible. Antique printing processes were not as clear and accurate as the charts modern stitchers are accustomed to using, and these are not reccomended for novice stitchers. No actual projects are offered, these charts are a collection of borders and motifs that can be used for your own creations. 8-1/2 by 11 inch softcover with 56 pages; 47 pages of full color charts.

Download or read book Vintage French Needlework written by Véronique Maillard and published by Schiffer Craft. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carefully transcribed from vintage table, dowry, and bed linens, this treasury of easy-to-use patterns allows today's stitchers to enrich their projects with original 1800s touches. Sharing the result of her years combing dusty attics, archives, brocantes, and antique shops for vintage handstitched items and rare needlework manuals, embroidery expert Maillard here offers the patterns used by French women in the 1800s and early 1900s to prepare their dowry chests or to customize their household linens. This is a genuine gold mine for stitchers: letters and motifs in shapes, sizes, and styles that can be adapted to any piece. Until a few generations ago, French women spent winters monogramming or marking their household linens. Today's crafters can do the same or apply these alphabets, flowers, and borders in creative ways to other projects. * The hundreds of patterns are digitally transcribed to make them clear. * All patterns are designed for cross-stich embroidery, either over one or two warp or weft threads. * Features photos of projects featuring the patterns, to offer inspiration. For example: a dish towel with stitched message in a mix of letter styles; personalized napkin rings using borders, for each guest to keep as a memento; a little heart to hang at the front door to welcome visitors, embroidered on an old piece of bedsheet using three colorways. * An index allows selection of designs by letter height, by border height, or by motifs ranging from flower baskets to hens. * Includes the most-outstanding designs from 1800s and 1900s "mark manuals" by cross-stitch design publishers including M. Rouyer, Sajou, L.V., and Alexandre.
Download or read book Ouverages de Dames written by Susan Johnson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-08-21 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ouverages de Dames: Alphabets from 19th Century Paris" is a collection of pages reproduced from antique needlework booklets in my private collection. 40 pages of patterns, plus basic counted thread embroidery stitch techniques and a page of reproducible graph paper to aid you in creating your own designs. Eight different line-drawn alphabets in three sizes are suitable for most embroidery techniques. Charted designs consist of 20 alphabets, 7 sets of number and 20 borders or motifs, including several crowns. The borders in particular, have a distinctly "lacy" appearance. An interesting feature is that many letters and motifs can be worked in a single color "silhouette" style, or two colors to create a dimensional shaded effect. As is typical of many 19th century alphabets, the letters "I" and "J" are considered interchangeable and only one is included. No specific projects are included, although many of the pattern plates would make charming samplers on their own. Antique needlework patterns assume the stitcher already possesses a high level of skill and typically do not include instructions, color or thread suggestions or stitch counts.
