Charted Swiss Folk Designs

Charted Swiss Folk Designs Collected by Elvira Parolini-Ruffini

The Engadine Valley in the Swiss canton of Grisons is noted for its lovely native cross-stitch embroidery. These designs form an invaluable source of unusual and interesting ideas for modern cross-stitchers and other craftsmen. Included in this collection are peacocks and other birds, real and imaginary beasts, hearts, crowns, stars, flowers in many different arrangements, geometrics, a hunting scene, a man with a horse and sleigh and dozens of elegant floral and geometrical repeat and border patterns.
