Vintage French Needlework

300 Autherntic Cross Stitch Patterns

Veronique Maillard

Description

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.

This is a genuine gold mine for stitchers: letters and motifs in shapes, sizes, and styles that can be adapted to any piece.

  • The hundreds of patterns are digitally transcribed to make them clear.
  • All patterns are designed for cross-stitch 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 colourways.
  • An index allows selection of designs by letter height, by border size, 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.
