Cross Stitch Folklore

Meer over het boek

A book on eastern European embroidery. At the end of the 19th century, Thérèse de Dillmont collected samples of cross stitching found throughout Europe. Her collection was stored in the DMC museum, which does not exist today. This book contains over 150 designs and patterns from thirteen countries, including simple border print from Poland, flower designs from Bulgaria, and geometric patterns from Ukraine. Cross Stitch Folklore allows readers to see the culture and the history in Eastern Europe through various designs.
