Leinen: Stickerei und Mustersammlung aus Sudtirol by Anna Wielander-Platzgummer

In South Tirol, linen embroidery has a rich tradition. In this book, the author has preserved patterns which span the centuries. The traditional patterns were gathered by this author, teacher and artist during the forty years she spent in this land and are offered in this volume for your use. The first part of the book showcases many examples of embroideries from this region while the second portion of the book offers the pattern collection of the author in grid form. Included along with the patterns are several hand-drawn embroidery "layout" ideas. Patterns are included for all of the embroideries portrayed in the pattern section of the book. A most unusual and valuable collection!
