Needlework

These beautiful embroidery designs were adapted from Victorian fancy work published in early French, English and American magazines. Some designs are based on surviving antique embroidery pieces. These patterns are suitable for any embroidery fabric, and can be stitched with cotton, silk, wool or seed beads.
