Inhaltsangabe

This unique book, part of the Dover Needlework Series, offers 75 different designs and two complete alphabets that can be directly transferred by heat onto fabric for crewel and other kinds of embroidery. All the patterns are printed with transfer ink on special paper; complete instructions are included on how to transfer them easily. Unlike most commercial transfer patterns, which can rarely be used more than once, these patterns will reproduce clearly many times. Among the designs are many floral motifs -- realistic representations of marigolds, buttercups, etc., as well as semi-abstractions -- Pennsylvania Dutch motifs, realistic birds, baskets, etc. There are also many other designs including anchors, suns, butterflies, borders, a kitten in a shoe, a unicorn, and a beautiful forest scene. Most of the designs are from traditional Early American sources such as Godey's Lady's Book, Peterson's Magazine, and Suzanne Chapman's Early American Design Motifs. These designs can be used for crewel and embroidery or for decorating pillows, wall hangings, tablecloths, upholstery, and almost anything else you can think of which uses fabric. Because these designs have been brought together in one collection, you save much money. To accumulate comparable transfer patterns from magazines or other sources would cost you art least 20 times the price of this book.
