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.

45 pages of charted designs from the mid-1900s will delight modern-day needlepointers and cross stitchers with dozens of floral designs, animals, alphabets and geometric patterns.Synthetic dyes developed in the 1830s led to brilliantly colored wool yarns, and their popularity influenced a style of needlepoint which became known as "Berlin Work" or "Berlin wool work." Wool yarns were most commonly used for canvas embroidery, but accents of silk or cotton thread, metallic thread and even beads were popular as well.Small booklets offered patterns catering to the Victorian love of nature-inspired motifs, repeating geometric patterns and monograms. Each pattern plate shown in this book measures about 3" by 4." Because the patterns were heavily used, very often only the individual pages survived but this booklet is still an intact large folded sheet, although the covers are missing. This collection was printed in Germany during the mid-19th century by H. K. Berlin S.W.Charted designs are a universal language with each square on the graph paper representing a single completed stitch, so these are easily adapted by modern needleworkers for both needlepoint and counted cross stitch. Antique "Berlin Work" was most often worked in Continental (Tent) or Half Cross stitches on evenweave canvas, although full Cross stitches were sometimes used both on canvas and linen fabric.

Marrying two exceptionally popular topics—needlework and women's history—this book provides an authoritative yet entertaining discussion of the diversity and importance of needlework in Victorian women's lives. Victorian Needlework explores these ubiquitous pastimes—their practice and their meaning in women's lives. Covering the period from 1837–1901, the book looks specifically at the crafts themselves examining quilting, embroidery, crochet, knitting, and more. It discusses required skills and the techniques women used as well as the technological innovations that influenced needlework during this period of rapid industrialization. This book is unique in its comprehensive treatment of the topic ranging across class, time, and technique. Readers will learn what needlework meant to "ladies," for whom it was a hobby reflecting refinement and femininity, and discover what such skills could mean as a "suitable" way for a woman to make a living, often through grueling labor. Such insights are illustrated throughout with examples from women's periodicals, needlework guides, pattern books, and personal memoirs that bring the period to life for the modern reader.
