Vintage Embroidery Designs

This 13 page copy of a vintage embroidery design catalog has been on my computer for so long I can't remember where I got it.  Being that it's in the public domain, I thought I'd share it with you.  There are designs here that will work well on crazy quilting projects as well as other items.  Enlarge or reduce as you like.  Aren't computers grand!!  If you happen to work one up, I would love to share it with everyone.  Don't hesitate to send a scan for me.  Here is an example of the designs you'll find when you click here. Be patient, it is a large file.

    Thank you so much, Maureen! These look so much like the 'penny squares' I've seen. Simply wonderful!

    Ah, Very Nice little booklet of designs! Thanks, Maureen!

    There are times when I wish I had ten arms and hands, and the ability to do something different with each pair of 'em!
