Weldons flower embroidery
Weldons Flower Embroidery is an embroidery instruction book published in London around 1900 by Weldons, Ltd, aimed at needlework amateurs working from printed patterns. Its pictures include a photographed Design for a petit point steel coat in tangled wildflowers, step diagrams of stitch directions, a Queen Anne fire-screen panel, and painted-style sheets of single flower motifs. A designer could draw on the dense botanical scatter and the simple flat flower outlines for surface pattern.
