Motifs for embroideries
Motifs for Embroideries is a 1919 pattern book published in Mulhouse, France by Thérèse de Dillmont, with Dollfus-Mieg & Cie, for needleworkers copying stitched borders and corner designs. Its plates show cross-stitch and related counted-thread motifs in red, blue, purple and green on cream grounds, including square cloth designs and vertical bands of flowers and leaves a designer could adapt for surface pattern.
