French Lace Patterns Volume 3: 16th Century Charts for Needlepoint & Counted Cross Stitch

By Susan Johnson

Advances in printing technology during the 16th century ushered in an incredible array of printed needlework patterns. This collection is reproduced from Italian master Dominique de S?ra's work titled "Le Livre de Lingerie" published in 1584 on the "noble and elegant art of lacemaking." This book is Volume 3 in a series of 3, with 23 pages of intricately charted designs.Classic motifs, borders and alphabets such as the ones presented here are easily adapted by modern needleworkers. Designs charted on graph paper are a universal language which can be translated into needlepoint, counted cross stitch, filet crochet and beadwork, with each square on the pattern representing a single stitch. A page of plain graph paper has been added at the end of the book to aid you in adapting these designs to your own creations.
