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.

Book excerpt: The lure of the exotic, far-off East was a source of inspiration for everything from fashion to furnishings during the Victorian era. These 24 richly colored charts are a perfect example of "Oriental" design adapted to Western tastes.This collection is reproduced from German textile designer Friedrich Fischbach's work titled "Orientalische Bunt-Stickerei-Vorlagen" (Colorful Oriental Embroidery Patterns) published around 1870. The patterns were printed in full color on cards and gathered into portfolios.Geometric repeating patterns, stylized floral motifs and borders charted on graph paper are a universal language which can be translated into needlepoint, counted cross stitch and beadwork, with each square on the pattern representing a single stitch. For inspiration I've included photos of an example of Victorian needlepoint worked from similar charts along with a page of plain graph paper to aid you in adapting these designs to your own creations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monograms have always been a fashionable way for embroiderers to personalize fashion and home decor. In contrast to the subtle white-on-white embroidery often found on bed linens and handkerchiefs, the exuberantly colorful designs that follow are more modern than you might expect from Victorian needlework.This collection is reproduced from German textile designer Friedrich Fischbach's work titled "Bunt-Stickerei-Vorlagen" (colorful embroidery patterns) published around 1870. These individual letters, entwined monograms, motifs and borders are a remarkable resource for modern needleworkers to use on their own projects. Designs charted on graph paper are a universal language which can be translated into needlepoint and counted cross stitch, with each square on the pattern representing a single stitch. Author's Note: Please be aware that older alphabets may not contain all letters. For example, "I" and "J" were often considered interchangeable, and many alphabets contain only one or the other, not both. The elaborate diagonal monogram series ("L" and "M" are shown on the front cover) does not include "J", "X" or "Y".

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.

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.

Book excerpt: This book includes antique charted patterns for 84 borders, 43 motifs, 14 complete alphabets, 9 sets of numbers and 6 overall repeating patterns.It's hard to believe these timeless charts are over 100 years old. They represent a moment in time when tastes began to shift from elaborate, richly-colored Victorian styles to a simpler look. The Art Deco covers of these diminutive booklets- in this instance, 2-3/4" by 4-1/2"- scarcely hint at the contents inside. The patterns in this book are part of a series published by H. K. Berlin SW in Germany between 1890-1920.Designs charted on graph paper are a universal language which can be translated into needlepoint, counted cross stitch and beadwork, with each square on the pattern representing a single stitch.
