a great resource

I've just found this
http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/html/warm/catalog

Its an american site dedicated to putting as many vintage patten books and leaflets on line as possible, for free use by embroiderers and craftworkers world wide.

It has some amazing 19th century drawn threadwork patterns- go and have a look!

really interesting find and the patterns are free to use. You could look at this for hours.

Thanks for the link Suzie, will be of use in the future. Agree with Olive you don't notice the time passing when browsing through the wealth of images
