The Antique pattern library is hosting a book of Anchor embroidery transfers that are out of copyright and free to share. I have sampled some pages so you can see what is on offer.
The book contains over 100 pages of patterns that contemporary embroiderers will love.
Many are from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco era and still have a modern look. Border designs such as these are always inspiration for me.
There are some motifs that I am sure many crazy quilters will find useful to use in the middle of patches, in corners or over seams.
You can of course use them as a design source and adapt and change to suit your needs.
I think readers will really enjoy these and better still they are free! Visit the Antique pattern Library to see the whole book of Anchor embroidery transfers and legally have a copy

My daughter is after me to make a whole crazy quilt. I just did a tea cozy and found it very addicting…Will have to pint these pages off as I can see some great motifs for future projects.
Hi Beth that sounds great – make a smaller rather than larger one as they take quite a bit of time – unless you are totally hooked of course!
That’s great! Thanks! Now just more for my brain to absorb. 🙂
Thanks! Great ideas! Big grins from hot and humid NJ, USA
Thank you Sharon. xx
Sharon, I feel so silly…but I can’t find a place to download the whole book; all I see is a “Detail Page”.
Could you help? It looks like such treasure! Thanks…sorry to be a bother.
Hi Allie you are not silly they dont have the whole book online – just the pages. Usually they do but they have not created the pdf yet
Thanks Allie, for asking that question. I didn’t want to appear dumb so I didn’t ask but I am very happy to have the answer. So thanks to you too, Sharon.
Awesome, thanks so much!
Sharon,
I am so glad that you are posting again. We missed you. Am thinking that your book has progressed to the point where you have a little free time and energy. A book is an unbelievable amount of work. As I know well.

Hi Sharon,

Hi Chitra – pleased they are useful for you
I love looking at these old designs. They are a wonderful source of inspiration. Thanks Sharon!
Thanks, that should keep us busy for a while!
Janie you made me laugh – it will keep my printer busy too – lets hope they get past being filed!
