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 Victorian Berlin Work Pattern Plates written by Susan Johnson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These pattern plates are from a series of 19th century German cards, or small pattern plates; all the motifs are in the classic "Berlin Work" style of floral wreaths and sprays, geometric borders and overall repeating patterns, quaint village buildings and other motifs. I found the first few cards many years ago in a box of miscellaneous sewing goods- long before I even knew exactly what they were- and eventually more from an Austrian manuscript dealer. They are presented slightly enlarged for easier reading but otherwise unaltered, with the marks of age and prior use still in evidence. Small patterns like these offer endless possibilities for today's needleworkers, from arranging motifs and borders into designs to selecting your own color combinations. Using brilliantly colored seed beads on canvas or linen, either as accents or to entirely replace the thread colors, is another time-honored tradition for these patterns and one that manages to look both antique and modern at the same time.

Download or read book Late Victorian Embroidery Patterns for Home School written by A Stuhlmann and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in in Germany in 1890, this collection of 74 pattern "plates" or full-page charts was part of a school program to teach students how to create and adapt counted needlework designs to use for decorating household linens. Included is my translation of the rather scholarly lesson plan. "Stickmüster für Schüle und Haus" was originally published as a portfolio of loose pages accompanied by a 16-page booklet written by Dr. A Stuhlman. It's a fascinating look at the depth with which needlework skills were taught in school at the time, throughout all years of a girl's education. The text explains how students should approach learning to adapt charted patterns for towels, table linens and other home decor. The beautifully illustrated charted patterns use whole cross stitches and back stitches, making them suitable for both cross stitch and needlepoint. No specific projects are offered (although many pages would make delightful samplers on their own), so I present them to modern stitchers as a treasure trove of borders and motifs to inspire and enhance their embroidery. All 74 pages from the original portfolio are included in this reproduction, along with my English translation of the original German language text. The charted pages have been enlarged from the originals for easier use.
