Patterns for cross stitch.

1913 · 13 pictures

A 1913 American pattern book of cross-stitch charts, printed on gridded paper for embroiderers to count and copy stitch by stitch. The pictures are grids of small cross-stitch motifs: alphabet letters, flower baskets, wreaths, butterflies and birds, arranged in tidy rows. A designer could take the pixel-like charted look, the limited palette of pinks, greens and blues, and the repeat-border layouts as models for folk-style textile or grid-based graphics.
