I stumbled across this Herrschner Catalog circa 1907 which is being digitised and is going online.
There is all sorts of vintage embroidery patterns and needlework designs which have been released under the creative commons license. This means you can use them in your projects and I know stitchers love free vintage patterns.
So it is with thanks to the Embroiderist who is doing the work that I point you towards this resource
Wow! How cool is this? Thanks so very much.
thanks Sharon and Ruth! I’ve taken a short peek at both and they’ve been bookmarked for when I have a bit more time to explore.
Thanks a lot for this useful information.Very inspiring designs.
Ruth thanks for the heads up on this I will check it out
Sharon – I didn’t know if you had seen this yet, it might be of interest to your readers.
