Decorative Sunday
Last week, we brought you black and white images of 16th century to the early 19th century European decorative lace work from La dentelle ancienne, style et technique by the German lace scholar and collector Alfred von Henneberg, with a foreword by the German art historian Wilhelm Pinder, and published in Paris by the decorative arts publisher A. Calavas for the Librairie des Arts Décoratifs in 1931. This week we present all the color plates from this volume demonstrating the various standard patterns used to make lace designs.
Click on the images to see the captions. The patterns shown here are called “bud,” “shell,” and “toilé.” The patterns are connected to each other with thread designs known as “brides,” which may be simple or extended. Other terms in the captions are fond de neige, a pattern found in Binche lace, a type of bobbin lace that originated in the town of Binche, Belgium, and “pillow-work,” lacework that is created using the surface of a pillow as its ground.

if you like crafting and also free things, might i suggest the antique pattern library?
it’s a not for profit that’s gathering books, patterns, and other materials related to crafting that are out of copyright (or getting permission from copyright holders in some cases) in order to share them online. they scan items, clean them up, then make everything available for free!
free things are great, especially when you’re just starting to get into something. like oh, i’m supposed to spend money on this hobby i just picked up 20 minutes ago???
the first time i ended up on the site, i seriously spent hours just trawling through everything. there’s the usual suspects like knitting, crochet, embroidery, but there’s also woodwork, calligraphy, and books on things like how to mount and frame pictures. with cross stitch patterns, they also make modern charts with the dmc colour codes available.
links to their webbed site and instagram:

behold, a glorious cat cross stitch pattern (link goes to antique pattern library page):
